FOOD BOXES
HUNGER IN ISRAEL
The chosen food is then eaten and the seeker is satiated.
Families and individuals in need don’t experience The Fridge Phenomenon.
When a hungry child opens the refrigerator to find something to eat, often it’s empty and no amount of searching will reveal a food that suddenly becomes enticing. When a mother opens it to take out ingredients in order to cook her family a meal, there are none.
People living in poverty simply try to survive day by day, despite their pervasive hunger and all the detriments associated with it.
The Yad Eliezer Food Boxes program works to relieve hunger for thousands of families every month. Assembled in our warehouse by dedicated volunteers, packages contain practical food staples plus fresh produce, home products and other basic necessities. We are a Jerusalem charity but our food boxes are distributed throughout the entire country, unmarked and discreetly delivered on a weekly basis and in time for holidays. That way, neighbors or even young family members need not know the source of the assistance.
Your help is what enables us to do what we do.
When donating to our Food Boxes program, you are filling refrigerators with food, and lives with a sense of normalcy.
About 5,000 families receive food boxes each month.
More than 42,000 boxes are distributed.
