Hazon Yeshaya Institutions
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hazon Yeshaya Soup Kitchens is an Israeli charity organisation which runs soup kitchens throughout Israel.
Hazon Yeshaya was founded in 1997 by successful businessman Abraham Israel, of New York. It started out as a "small kitchen to serve 17 starving Jerusalem residents" but its responsibilities soon snowballed into providing more than 200,000 hot meals each month at 38 distribution points across Israel.
As part of its activities, Hazon Yeshaya identifies and documents survivors of the Shoah, many of them impoverished. Currently the organization maintains a registry of some 15,000 names from more than a dozen countries. 1,600 survivors already receive hot daily meals from Hazon Yeshaya through Project Reach Out. Additionally, Hazon Yeshaya distributes staple food packages and hot meals to some 5,000 individuals who are registered.
