Ichlu Reim

The Ichlu Reim Soup Kitchen responds to the challenge of "insufficient food and inadequate nutrition" for Israel's poor by providing warm and nutritious daily meals to elderly, indigent and at-risk residents of Jerusalem. The soup kitchen, whose name means "Come eat, dear friends", endeavours to meet the needs of vulnerable individuals with compassion and dignity.

 

Located on the Jaffa Road in Jerusalem, Ichlu Re'im is open 7 days a week, including Shabbat and Festivals and is supported by a dedicated team of volunteers.  A new kitchen, funded by donations from the UK and JNF, was opened in July 2009, quadrupling the number of people that can be fed at each sitting to 200 and allowing a larger meal delivery service to operate, providing sustenance to the sick and housebound (including more than 100 Holocaust survivors).

To ensure it is able to continue and expand its life-saving work, the JNF has pledged to provide £5,000 a month until the end of 2010. Help us to fulfil our pledge to Ichlu Re'im to ensure that the needy do not go hungry by donating now.
