The Nutritional Security initiative was developed with the aim to reduce nutritional insecurity among families and individuals living in severe poverty by salvaging, collecting, and distributing food. The Nutritional Security initiative provides a unique solution to the problem of nutritional insecurity in Israel: by acting as an umbrella organization in cooperation with more than 180 aid associations and municipalities, it serves as a support network, and works to influence potential change in government policy.
Latet has developed strategic partnerships with leading grocery retailers, food manufacturers, and food distributors in Israel to create a highly successful infrastructure, capable of salvaging food nationally. Latet's cutting edge logistical center accommodates the food storage, packaging, sorting, and distribution of food to local NGOs, ultimately providing food for thousands of families across Israel. Additionally, Latet diligently works to raise public awareness within Israeli society, and abroad, about the issue of food shortage and poverty in Israel.
The Program
Need:
Due to a lack of resources and problems in government policy, finding a solution to the issue of nutritional insecurity has fallen solely on the shoulders of non-profit aid associations in the third sector. Latet considers basic nutritional security as a necessity, and therefore takes the responsibility upon itself to provide for the individuals and families who are lacking this vital requirement.
Target Population:
The program is open to all individuals in need as recognized by welfare services, including a large population of families with children, single-parent families, the elderly and isolated individuals in need living in disand suffering from nutritional insecurity, throughout the country, in all sectors of society.
Model and Structure:
The initiative acquires food through three main channels: food rescuing, purchasing, and community donations. Latet works as an umbrella organization for 180 local associations and organizations (soup kitchens, local welfare services) in 105 communities across Israel. The food is collected at a national level and then redistributed on an ongoing basis trough the local partner NGOs to 60,000 families in need, living in nutritional security, in a quick and efficient manner. Moreover, through Latet's partnerships with large food distributors, the initiative is able to leverage existing resources rather than investing in additional infrastructure.
The food distribution takes place on a regular basis every month and includes purchased and rescued basic food products (mainly dry food), together with donations of short lived products (poultry and dairy). The distribution is conducted with the collaboration of Latet's local partners in all the country, on an equal basis and under strict scrutiny and supervision to ensure the quality of food is preserved until it arrives to the aid recipients. The initiative sets high prerequisites and criterions to join Latet's network of partners and runs continuous control systems regarding the NGOs ongoing activity.
To allow for the large scale operations of the organization, Latet maintains a sophisticated logisitical infrastructure for the food transportation and storage:
Sources of food donations for the initiative are divided into several key channels:
Food Rescue and Manufacturers:
Food rescue is the regular collection of surplus edible food from food companies and manufacturers. Having access to existing sources of good quality and edible food is fundamental to the initiative’s operational model.
During the past 19 years, Latet established strategic partnerships with leading grocery retailers and food manufacturers in Israel, including Tnuva, Osem, Strauss, Unilever, and Tara, reaching more than 80% of the food industry in Israel. Thanks to those exclusive partnerships the initiative salvages approximately 15 million dollars worth of food every year.
Food Acquisition:
Latet conducts consistent acquisitions of food from dozens of manufacturers, suppliers and wholesalers, to ensure distribution of basic food products that are essential to maintaining nutritional security and to meeting the needs of the target population.
Public Food Drive Campaigns:
Campaigns take place in order to collect food from the public at supermarket chains, schools, and businesses. Twice a year, before Pesach (Passover) and Rosh HaShana (Jewish New Year), Latet holds a national food collection campaign in cooperation with Shufersal, the leading supermarket chain in Israel. Around 6,000 volunteers are stationed at the chain’s branches in order to collect food for impoverished families.
Telethon:
Every year before Rosh HaShana, there is a special telethon on national TV, in collaboration with leading TV lives shows, calling upon the public to donate holiday meals to impoverished families. This program is the culmination of a far-reaching advertising campaign alongside a wide range of activities in the field.

Need:
According to 2016 data from the National Insurance Institute, 17.8% of Israeli families live in nutritional insecurity, along with 25.5% of children (14.1% of children live in severe nutritional insecurity). Nutritional insecurity is the most severe indicator of poverty. It is notable mainly in the lack of economic ability and regular access to basic and high quality nutrition required for a proper and balanced existence. Moreover, malnutrition damages daily functioning, normal healthy development in children, and a family's ability to live with dignity.
