Together, We Share the Light of Hanukkah.

At Latet, we support 100,000 families and 1,600 Holocaust survivors year-round with food and essential aid. As Hanukkah approaches, many vulnerable Israelis are struggling to afford even basic groceries, making it hard to celebrate the holiday with dignity.

This Hanukkah, your gift can brighten a home.
Your support provides a Food Box filled with essential staples—helping families, elderly, and Holocaust survivors enjoy a warm, nourishing holiday meal.

A full box costs $54, but any amount makes a meaningful difference.
Join us in bringing light, care, and hope to Israelis in need this Hanukkah.

Did You Know?

According to Latet’s 2024 Alternative Poverty Report, 21.1% of families in Israel struggle with food insecurity — many skipping meals or reducing portions because they simply cannot afford enough food.

Donate now to provide a Food Box and help families access the essential nutrition they need to get through the month with dignity and stability.

Beyond the food itself, your donation sends a powerful message to these families:
they are not alone, and someone is thinking of them during a difficult time.

Donate today to make a difference.

Latet was established in order to assist populations in need, mobilize civil society toward mutual responsibility, and lead a change in national priorities.

We are the leading umbrella organization and food bank in Israel, partnering with 210 local NGOs and organizations across Israel. Each year, we mobilize 38,000 volunteers and provide ongoing assistance to 100,000 families and 1,700 Holocaust survivors.

Giving for three decades and counting

Latet (‘To give’ in Hebrew) is to wake up in the morning with the purpose of making a difference and creating social impact. It means providing immediate, daily help to vulnerable populations, both in routine and in times of emergency, while simultaneously working to create a better future. It’s the Latet spirit that defines us; the drive to face every challenge and move forward with determination and a deep sense of mission.

Since founding Latet in 1996 as Israel’s first humanitarian aid organization of its kind, we’ve led the fight against poverty in Israel through solidarity and a belief in mutual responsibility and giving within civil society. We’ve laid the foundation for innovative, impactful humanitarian action and fostered a culture of volunteerism as a way of life.
Over the years, Latet has become a leading organization driven by excellence, research, and learning. Thanks to our dedicated team, thousands of volunteers, and hundreds of partners, we create meaningful change – from the lives of those in need to national policy – on the path to a more just and better society.
