Feeding the Hungry in Israel
“I know in my heart that man is good. That what is right will always evidently triumph. And there is purpose and worth to each and every life.”
— Ronald W. Reagan
The Israeli economy has lost over $12 billion (US) in the last four years alone due to terrorism’s devastating effects. We can and must make a difference.

Over 700,000 children in Israel live under the poverty line, the largest number in the western world.
Since 1998, the number of poor children in Israel increased 50%.
The 2004 Poverty Report has indicated that:
- The number of poor people living in Israel in 2004 is 1,534,000 – an increase from 1,300,000 in 2002.
- 394,000 families live under the poverty line – 20.4% of all the families in Israel.
- Thousands who survived the Holocaust are in great need of assistance… and food.
- Families are bring uprooted from their homes, loss of jobs and fear daily for their lives.

Support IDF Wounded
The Israel Defense Forces is the state of Israel’s military force. The goal of the IDF is to protect the existence of the State of Israel and its independence, and to thwart all enemy efforts to disrupt the normal way of life in Israel. IDF soldiers are obligated to fight, to dedicate all their strength, and even sacrifice their lives in order to protect the State of Israel, its citizens, and residents.
Help us in supporting the IDF wounded and their families.
Holocaust Survivors
Love of Israel provides assistance to as many as 3,000 Holocaust survivors in Israel who are impoverished, struggling with illness, or living alone.
Many Holocaust Survivors who were children and teenagers during World War II are now nearing the final season of their lives. We need your love and support to make a positive difference in their lives.
