Providing hot meals for the elderly and Holocaust survivors
There are around 111,000 Holocaust survivors living in Israel today, and 37% need daily assistance to access basic, essential food. In today’s challenging security reality, and as antisemitism rises around the world, it is our duty to ensure they live with dignity and are not forgotten.
Leket Israel works year-round to make sure no one is left behind, delivering hot, nutritious meals each week to elderly individuals and Holocaust survivors across the country, in routine and in times of emergency.
This Yom HaShoah, alongside remembrance, we must also act. Your support helps provide hot, nourishing meals that bring security, stability, and hope.
23 years of experience supplying food in both routine and emergency situations
Using its infrastructure in the fields to provide the right assistance, and with an immediate response for anyone in need
In routine times, Leket Israel is the largest food rescue organization in Israel, rescuing fresh surplus agricultural produce from farms and packing houses and excess cooked food from hotels, corporate cafeterias and IDF army bases for redistribution through a network of 346 nonprofit organizations feeding 470,000 Israelis in need each week
REACTIONS FROM OUR PARTNERS IN THE FIELD
Thank you, a million times, for the renewable credit cards. Seeing the smile on the faces of all these worried parents brought me great happiness today.
You’ve brought a lot of joy to the people here. Stay strong.
Thank you again for your incredible work. Seeing mothers cry with happiness when they received the renewable card after being told that their refrigerators are empty warms my heart
Loving volunteers from Leket Israel, thank you for your willingness to be there in your modest way. It truly warms my heart.
A week ago, we turned to Leket Israel for help picking persimmons in my father’s farm. He felt so despondent, he almost gave up his livelihood. Leket Israel sent us 170 volunteers who harvested 40 tons in just 4 days. I cannot express the depth of our gratitude. Thank you for your support!
