The cost of distributing meals on Purim is approximately $9 CAD per dish, allowing everyone to contribute according to their ability in providing numerous meals.

In 2023, Leket Israel assisted 330,000 individuals every week with the help of donors like us. They distributed approximately 2,300,000 cooked meals and 32,000 tons of fruit and vegetables. Together we will provide food to more families in need. In normal times, Leket Israel rescues 32,200 tons of fresh, surplus produce and cooked meat meals (that would otherwise be needlessly wasted) for redistribution to 330,000 Israelis in need each week, including Holocaust survivors, families living below the poverty line, struggling immigrants, at-risk youth, and other vulnerable populations. The food is distributed free of charge to Leket Israel’s 296 nonprofit partners.

During the ongoing crisis, Leket Israel is currently providing critical emergency relief and focusing on: meals for homebound individuals and seniors, food and essential supplies for displaced families, financial support for evacuees, and assisting farmers in harvesting their crops.
