Pantry Packers

Nutrition is Our Number One Priority Because no child, no senior citizen, no new immigrant, no man or woman who is down on their luck should ever go hungry. Pantry Packers is the food distribution arm of Tzedakah Central/Colel Chabad, the oldest continuously operating network of social services in Israel – established in 1788. Pantry Packers delivers crates containing all the necessary foods and household maintenance supplies to Israel’s poorest families and senior citizens every month. Every recipient is screened and selected on a non-discriminatory basis by the social services departments of local municipalities without regard to gender, ethnic background, or degree of religious observance. Pantry Packers maintains a packing plant in Jerusalem where visitors and tourists may partner in its efforts by helping pack food staples, which are included in the Pantry Packers crates. Pantry Packers is an officially designated project of Eshel Chabad, the welfare and food distribution division of Colel Chabad.
