"SURELY YOU SHOULD SHARE YOUR BREAD WITH THE HUNGRY, AND BRING THE POOR TO YOUR HOME. WHEN YOU SEE A NAKED PESON CLOTHE HIM AND DO NOT HIDE YOURSELF FROM YOUR KIN" Isaiah 48:7
FOOD BASKET DISTRIBUTION
The Hasdei Avot organization distributes baskets of
nutritious food product and cleaning supplies to immigrant
families and others under financial distress.
Each family that requests assistance has to be open with our
assessors about the family's income and expenses, and we
make a personalized plan for aid for each one. The families
receive a tailored package of food assistance for a period
of 3 months.
Donations to this project come from a variety of sources
across the country, for example we are in partnership with
the "Latet" organization which collects donations from
individuals, institutions and businesses. Donations can be
cash or cash value. We may for example receive a donation
from a factory for two thousand bottles of cooking oil, and
we arrange for a truck to collect the donation.
Food vouchers
We arrange for food vouchers from various bodies that are
redeemable at various shops allowing families to purchase goods.
Meat and fish subsidies
לקראת החגים הגדולים- פסח, סוכות וראש השנה מתארגנת עמותת חסדי אבות לסבסוד מוצרי During the major festival times - Rosh Hashana, Succot and Pesach - when food bills skyrocket we arrange a system by which various meat and fish vendors in the area enable families in financial distress to buy what they need at subsidized prices.
