Families in Need
No child should ever go hungry

With your help we also provide regular support for hot lunch programs for needy children. Kochav Yaakov lunchBut the program is also responsive to immediate needs.

Raising funds to feed hungry children
Home to many new immigrants and low-income families, Kochav Yaakov is a vibrant and welcoming community just outside Jerusalem. But for too many local children, daily hunger is a painful reality. The community runs a hot lunch program in its schools, ensuring all children receive a nutritious meal—regardless of their parents’ ability to pay. Your support will help feed 75 children still in need, offering them dignity, nourishment, and the strength to thrive in the Biblical Heartland.
