I run a small lending gemach in my Yeshiva. I slowly put aside money over the years and also collected money from a few people and now have enough to be able to lend people. Different gemachs have different rules. I lend as little as a dollar at a time and sometimes will lend a few hundred depending on the need and the amount of funds available.
- Here are a few ideas of Gemachs I have seen in Yeshiva:
- Bill Change
- Quarters
- AA Batteries
- Power Tools
- Check Cashing
- Car and GPS (for dating)
- MetroCard
- Folding Tables / Chairs
- Folding Bed
- Iron
- Medicine
- Office Supplies
