Table to Table
Table to Table collects food from suppliers who would otherwise discard it and distributes it to non-profit food relief organizations, who in turn distribute it to those in need throughout Israel. Founded in January 2003 by Joseph Gitler, and modeled on New York's City Harvest, Table to Table's main organizational goals are to increase social responsibility through food redistribution, and to heighten awareness of issues relating to food and hunger in Israel. Natan's 2009 grant is both for general operating expenses, and for The Sderot Project, which purchases food from commercial enterprises in the beleaguered town of Sderot (near the border with Gaza) and redistributes the food to agencies feeding the hungry in Israel's depressed southern region.
Since its inception, Table to Table's thousands of volunteers have distributed hundreds of thousands of prepared meals and hundreds of tons of fresh produce, particularly in Jerusalem.
