For the last 45 years of her life Bracha Kapach maintained a weekly distribution of food to families in need. The families came from all over Jerusalem and were a cross-section of Israeli society, all of whom had been referred to her by the municipalsocialwelfaredepartment.HOTboughthera freezerand suppliedherwithapproximately40chickens, each weighing approximately 4 pounds, every week (with an additional chicken or two for the holidays) for eight years.
