Demand for food assistance surges 32% ahead of Rosh Hashanah

Demand for food assistance in Israel has increased by 32% before the Tishrei holidays, highlighting rising economic challenges faced by families dealing with poverty and food insecurity. In response, the Latet organization is launching its annual holiday aid campaign, working with major Israeli companies, philanthropic foundations, employees, and volunteers. The campaign involves food and cash donations, food packaging events, public and corporate fundraising, and digital platform collaborations. Over its 30-year history, Latet has helped around 250,000 families and provided aid worth approximately NIS 2.25 billion. This year’s efforts include partnerships with companies like Osem-Nestlé, Strauss Group, and others, along with online fundraising through platforms such as Shufersal and Wolt. Philanthropic groups including the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews are also supporting the initiative. Latet plans to distribute over 30,000 food packages to families and elderly individuals nationwide.
