Tzedakah We Love Monday: Table to Table

Many times, leaving events and seeing buffets being shoved into the trash, I've thought, Someone ought to start an organization to bring this food immediately to people who need it.

Enter Table to Table, a food rescue organization in Israel that harvests excess fresh food from caterers, cafeterias, manufacturers, grocers and farmers and delivers the food to soup kitchens, food pantries, senior citizen centers, homeless shelters, women's shelters and meals-on-wheels-type organizations. And, their website is filled with useful information like hunger statistics in Israel, links to additional related resources, and the story on their wonderful programs, such as their b'nai miztvah project ideas section, volunteer opportunities, Hametz collection initiative service, and a program I rather like: Project Leket. If you are heading to Israel (or are there already), Project Leket allows volunteers to sign up to go with members of this organization to pick fruit, knowing everything picked goes to those who need it the most. biblically inspired, of course, in Deuteronomy. Of course, if you don't happen to be in Israel, you can always give tzedakah here, volunteer with the New Jersey organization or the similarly-named and -purposed, (but unaffiliated) organization in Iowa City.
