FSJU Israel Alongside Latet

The Program

Latet is Israel’s largest food bank, specializing in recovering unsold food from the agri-food industry. Each year, it redistributes significant quantities of food parcels to a wide network of local organizations, which then deliver them directly to families in need.

For several years, FSJU Israel has supported Latet through an annual grant, reinforced during times of crisis, particularly during the Covid-19 pandemic and since October 7th, to address the social emergency.

The joint program “Nutritional Security“, led by Latet and FSJU Israel, provides a concrete response to the widespread poverty in the country.

Furthermore, the youth organization Noar Latet was created to ensure the sustainability of this initiative. It aims to transmit to younger generations the fundamental values of solidarity, civic engagement, volunteering, and social entrepreneurship — essential pillars for building a more just and responsible society.

Since the beginning of the crisis, Latet has worked tirelessly to purchase, pack, and distribute 15,000 packages of food and hygiene products to individuals living alone and in poverty.
