The Fellowship Combats Food Insecurity in Israel

The Fellowship  |  July 11, 2024

The Fellowship is partnering with Leket to help people living with food insecurity in the Holy Land. We recently dedicated a new vehicle to help deliver food to families and elderly in need, reports The Jerusalem Post:

This truck was just the first of many, as plans are being put in place to expand the program and purchase more vehicles to transport food to those in need across the country.  The IFCJ contributes over $80 million annually towards a variety of food security projects in Israel, and plans to add this to their expansive philanthropic works in the Jewish state…

“This project is another step forward in our ongoing effort to find new and increasingly effective ways to address hunger and poverty across Israel,” said Yael Eckstein, president of IFCJ, Israel’s largest provider of humanitarian aid in Israel, supporting needy populations through a variety of projects and initiatives. “This partnership brings together multiple agencies who have the tools and resources to make effective and lasting change for thousands of families in need. The Fellowship, and our hundreds of thousands of supporters around the world, take great pride in knowing that this support will help thousands of Israelis deal with the challenges of food security that they face each and every day.”
