Table to Table, Targum Shlishi – Table to Table Fresh Produce for Children’s Project, Ra’anana, Israel
Targum Shlishi continued its support of this program, established in 2005, which provides Jewish and Arab children from the economically depressed Jaffa area with fresh produce and dairy products on a regular basis. The food – a half ton each week – is distributed to hundreds of children daily through distribution to after-school programs and directly to families. In addition, Targum Shlishi’s funding helped support Table to Table’s public relations activities, which included employing a part-time public relations officer and then recruiting the assistance of an external public relations consultant. Table to Table is Israel’s largest food rescue organization, proving approximately ten thousand meals and twenty tons of produce and perishable items weekly to Israel’s needy. It gathers food from catered events, corporate cafeterias, army bases, farms, and food manufacturers. www.tabletotable.org.il
