Women's Rosh Chodesh Program with Leket
Please join us for an Important Briefing on Food Insecurity as Israel Marks 73 Years as a Modern Nation. Millions of Israelis are struggling due to the effects of the pandemic and hundreds of thousands of families, working professionals, the elderly and more have fallen into poverty in the past year. Israel’s multiple shutdowns caused unemployment to skyrocket and led to a dramatic increase in demand for food assistance through Leket Israel, Israel’s National Food Bank and largest food rescue organization.
Join us as we welcome Lauren Yokèd, Executive Director of American Friends of Leket Israel, for an important briefing on the food insecurity crisis in Israel and how Leket Israel urgently continues to provide fresh, surplus produce and hot meat meals to 246,000 struggling Israelis of all backgrounds each week.
