Who the boxes go to

  1. An older woman in a headscarf and an older man smile at a kitchen table behind a large Feed Israel box, two volunteers seated beside them.

    01Seniors on a pension

    A pension that stopped covering the week

    Many of the people on the routes are older and live alone. A box at the door means the holiday table is set without a trip to the shop or a choice between food and medicine.

  2. Older women and men, among them Holocaust survivors, share a hot lunch at a long table in a seniors' club, a Feed Israel volunteer nearby.

    02Holocaust survivors

    Survivors who shouldn't have to ask

    Holocaust survivors living alone are among the first names on the list before every holiday. Volunteers bring the food, sit down for lunch at the club, and stay for the company.

  3. A mother in her coat, handbag still on her shoulder, unpacks shopping bags in a small kitchen while her two sons help put the food away.

    03Single parents

    One income, a full house

    Single parents carry the rent, the children and the holiday on one paycheck. A delivered box frees the week's money for everything else.

  4. A mother in a headscarf makes sandwiches at the kitchen counter while her toddler tugs at her skirt, her daughter eats cereal with her school bag on and her son ties his shoe.

    04Reservist families

    When one parent is called up

    When a parent is away on reserve duty, the other carries the family alone. Food at the door is one less thing to hold together.
