Rescuing food that would otherwise go to waste
Pesia's Community Hubs
Limited space restricts Israeli food relief efforts. Pesia's Tel Aviv hubs bridge the gap, offering large scale temperature controlled storage and distribution. Pesia's Kitchen empowers small Israeli food banks by operating its two Community Hubs. These hubs handle large deliveries and collaborate with Leket Israel, maximizing food rescue and distribution.

Ajami
Yafo Hub
Located within Hatzmicha, a local Arab-Israeli NGO, the Yafo Hub provides vital food assistance to the Ajami community. This hub, established in 2021, fosters strong connections with residents, offering a variety of social services alongside essential food support with the help of dedicated volunteers to assemble food packages.
Families Served
Provides food for 300 families (over 1,000 individuals).
Homebound Support
Delivers food packages to 50 homebound individuals.
Community Focus
Serves a diverse community of 3,000 people.
In Israel, 1.5 million people face food insecurity, including people living both in major cities and in remote peripheral towns. All sectors of the population are affected - Jews, Arabs, Bedouins, secular and religious communities, the elderly, and children.
The Bedouin Diaspora
Most of the Bedouin population in the Negev is dispersed in small villages, which receive minimal government support. Attacks on these villages on October 7 had citizens killed and taken hostage. Families lost their breadwinners that day and desperately need help. Pesia's Kitchen assists with deliveries of food and supplies.
