Young Israel Shomrai Emunah - List of Area Gemachs

List of Gemachs in Silver Spring
Gemach comes from an abbreviation of Gemilut Chasadim, acts of kindness. The following list of Gemachs in the Silver Spring area loan a wide variety of items to people who need them.

YISE provides this list as a service to YISE members and the Silver Spring community but does not fund or directly support any of these Gemachs. Donations to a Gemach on this list may or may not be tax-deductible - check with the Gemach before donating if this is a concern.
