Raising money for

Have We Got More Food for You!- Hazon Yeshaya

Charity Registration No. 1088738

The business of hunger in Israel is sadly booming, and the number of meals we provide for is a staggering 400,000, with numbers constantly rising. Currently more than 1.63 million Israelis are living below the poverty line - and the hardest hit includes children from broken or abusive homes, battered women fleeing abusive relationships, Holocaust survivors, and victims of terror. Hazon Yeshaya provides for all these people, regardless of their religious or racial background. Since its inception in 1997 Hazon Yeshaya has ensured that everyone in need receives a hot meal every day of the week at 60 locations around the country. The charity also provides 4,000 meals to children in 25 schools and runs day centres, school programmes as well as vocational training and free dentistry. We need to raise sponsorship for our third cookbook - 'Have We Got More Food For You' - following our previous two best-selling titles which raised over £175,000. We are looking for donations so that all the money raised from our book sales will be converted straight into hot meals. We thank you in advance for giving generously and offering a brighter future to thousands of men, women and children.

My story

Hi friends!

Thanks very much for taking the time to visit my fundraising page.

During my gap year I volunteered every week at Hazon Yeshaya which is a soup kitchen - a centre which provides meals, 365 days a year, to those who cannot provide for themselves. It provides 400,000 hot meals a month, over 70% of which go to children of school age. Hazon Yeshaya has over 60 distribution points, and provides for people regardless of race or religion. It also supplies groceries to those who are more able to make meals at their homes, and provides health (including dental) care too.

Check the website: http://www.hazonyeshaya.org/

Having volunteered here for a year, I know how dedicated and hard working the kitchen staff are and having sat with the people who eat there I can see what a huge and immediate effect Hazon Yeshaya has on their lives.

Hazon Yeshaya is feeling the current financial situation just as much as anyone else, but it is feeling it on behalf of its thousands of clients too. The money kindly donated by you will go to ensuring that these people get at least a hot meal every day.

SO - I WILL BE JUMPING OUT OF A PLANE AT 13,000 FEET AND FREEFALLING TO EARTH AT OVER 120 MPH TO RAISE LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS OF MONEY FOR HAZON YESHAYA!

Thank you very much!!

Lauren
