EAT School Program
Through the EAT School Program, students take part in real-world food rescue activities—collecting, sorting, and helping distribute rescued produce to families in their communities. What began five years ago with a single pilot school has grown into a dynamic program active in 30 schools across Israel, rescuing more than 500,000 kilograms of produce and helping provide over one million meals to approximately 3,000 families each week. Beyond these numbers, EAT strengthens school communities by fostering collaboration among students, teachers, and staff, while creating bridges between diverse populations including Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Bedouin, and Druze communities. Students who participate often discover leadership, confidence, and a sense of purpose as they turn values like responsibility, equality, and sustainability into meaningful action—helping ensure that good food reaches people who need it most.

Where do
we work?
Established in the 2022-2023 academic year with 3 pilot schools, we expanded the program this year to 18 schools. We plan to double the number of schools in the 2025-2026 academic year. This program fosters nutritional security for students in a dignified manner while instilling values of environmental and social responsibility.

The EAT Truck
When the truck pulls up to each school and unloads multiple large bins of fresh produce, rotating classes with their teachers are ready each week to spring into action. The students quickly assemble piles of individual packages and distribution begins as the line of people outside the gates of each school file in to collect the fruits and vegetables. The students and teachers also take home packages even if they are not needy so as not to shame the many students that do need help.
