A Hanukkah Gift to Help the Hungry
The most meaningful gift may well be the one you don’t wrap up in a box — but it’s one that will be appreciated beyond measure. Make a donation in someone’s name to one of the Jewish charities that help fight hunger.
Consider one of the following organizations:
Mazon: A Jewish Response to Hunger supports anti-hunger advocacy groups and policy makers in Israel and the U.S.
- Donate to Mazon: A Jewish Response to Hunger
Leket Israel is a food-rescue organization that directs surplus nutritious food collected from farms, hotels, caterers and military bases to the hungry in Israel.
- Donate to Leket Israel
Masbia Soup Kitchen Network offers hot kosher meals to New York’s needy in dignified, restaurant-like setting. The charity has just introduced a Hanukkah-focused way to inspire donations, through the new Masbia Store, an online “shop” offering greeting cards, autographed cookbooks by celebrity chefs, freshly harvested and milled olive oil and more. The money from these purchases will go directly to feeding the needy.

A message from our CEO & publisher Rachel Fishman Feddersen
I hope you appreciated this article. Before you move on, I wanted to ask you to support the Forward’s award-winning journalism during our High Holiday Monthly Donor Drive.
If you’ve turned to the Forward in the past 12 months to better understand the world around you, we hope you will support us with a gift now. Your support has a direct impact, giving us the resources we need to report from Israel and around the U.S., across college campuses, and wherever there is news of importance to American Jews.
Make a monthly or one-time gift and support Jewish journalism throughout 5785. The first six months of your monthly gift will be matched for twice the investment in independent Jewish journalism.
