(Mercaz Mazon)

The Jaffa Institute's Food Distribution Center targets hunger and malnutrition in the home by providing 20,000 food packages a year.

 

The Center provides bi-monthly food packages containing staple goods for impoverished families, elderly individuals, including Holocaust survivors, and special distributions of food packages for the Holidays.

“This food package is my lifeline. I can finally sleep at night, knowing that my children do not have to go to bed hungry, and my son is receiving the proper nutrients for his critical cognitive and physical development. I am indebted to the Food Distribution Center.”
