Leket Israel

Established in 2003, the fresh food rescued by Leket Israel from corporate kitchens, IDF army bases, hotels, farms, and more is delivered to over 300 nonprofit organizations, including homeless shelters, soup kitchens, day care centres for the elderly, centres for women escaping domestic violence, community support organisations, and schools for at-risk youth. Leket provides food to approximately 415,000 Israelis in need every week, regardless of age, gender, religion, or ethnic background with the help of 95,000 annual volunteers.

Unfortunately, the need only continues to grow. Since the outbreak of the Swords of Iron War, tens of thousands more Israelis have faced food insecurity due to displacement, job loss, or trauma. Leket Israel’s support is needed now more than ever.

With your help, Leket will:

– Rescue over 2.5 million cooked meals from hotels, corporate cafeterias, IDF army bases, government offices, and more.

– Collect even more surplus fruit and vegetables from farms and packing houses across the country to ensure the most vulnerable have access to fresh, nutritious food — including those evacuated from their homes due to the ongoing conflict.

– Expand Leket Israel’s fleet of refrigerated vehicles to open new points of collection and reach more communities affected by the war.

– Provide a series of four Healthy Cooking and Eating workshops, led by Leket’s nutritionist, to over 1,000 mothers, fathers, and children struggling with food insecurity and health challenges.

Let your legacy be one of giving, and help provide fresh, nutritious food to those who need it most. Thank you so much for your continued support.
