PILLAR 3:
immediate support
Providing Israelis in need with food packages and daily meals enables them to focus on long term solutions for the future.
The problem
Tragically, millions of Israelis today deal with hunger on a daily basis.
Research has shown that chronic malnutrition can cause long-term issues like heart disease, diabetes, and osteoporosis, as well as emotional distress in the form of anxiety and depression.
Worst of all, persistent hunger is all-consuming, requiring a person to focus their energy on finding immediate relief rather than building a better future for themselves.
