Serving as the country’s largest food bank and national food rescue network, Leket Israel’s primary mission is to lead the safe, effective, and efficient collection and distribution of surplus nutritious food that would have otherwise been destroyed, redistributing the rescued food to 200 nonprofit partner organizations in Israel, serving 175,000+ needy Israelis weekly.

Leket Israel also works to assist at-risk population groups and the NPOs who serve them through nutrition education, food safety, and capacity building projects designed to improve professional standards among the NPOs, which include homeless shelters, soup kitchens, community centers, and organizations supplying food packages to the needy, among others.

The fresh, rescued produce provided by Leket Israel is important for the diet of those suffering from food insecurity, enhancing their general well-being and improving their day-to-day functioning. In addition, the produce supplied by Leket Israel saves the 200 NPOs over $1.2 million in monthly food expenses and supports tens of thousands of needy people with access to fresh fruit and vegetables each day.

The Israeli Lone Soldier Program provides individual guidance for each participating member. For many who partake in the program, their mentor is the sole individual in their lives who can provide consultation and guidance, who they can speak to openly and from whom they may receive advice. When participants are ready, they receive further guidance from a volunteer or a host family.

The program holds individual and group training sessions, ranging from basic knowledge of English and math to basic personal finance. In general, the organization aids participants in acquiring basic life skills to help them succeed long term.

The Lone Soldier Center provides solutions for lone soldiers’ basic needs and financial aid is available in critical cases as a temporary solution. The organization also helps soldiers find housing, including room and board on a kibbutz, apartments, and even a lone soldier house in Jerusalem.
