There will always be poor people in the land.

כי לא יחדל אביון מקרב הארץ...

Dewarim (Deuteronomy) Chapter 15:(7-11) :

(7) If there be among you a needy man, one of thy brethren, within any of thy gates, in thy land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thy heart, nor shut thy hand from thy needy brother;
(8) but thou shalt surely open thy hand unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need in that which he wanteth.
(9) Beware that there be not a base thought in thy heart, saying: 'The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand'; and thine eye be evil against thy needy brother, and thou give him nought; and he cry unto the LORD against thee, and it be sin in thee.
(10) Thou shalt surely give him, and thy heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him; because that for this thing the LORD thy God will bless thee in all thy work, and in all that thou puttest thy hand unto.
(11) For the poor shall never cease out of the land; therefore I command thee, saying: 'Thou shalt surely open thy hand unto thy poor and needy brother, in thy land'.

There are Jews and Jewish families in the Netherlands who do not yet have the capacity but do need weekly food packages.

These include food packages for Shabbat and holidays. The food packages of the (regular) Foodbank are not equally accessible to those citizens who (may) only eat Kosher. Moreover, Kosher products are many times more expensive.

To be able to support them, Kosher Foodbank came into being.

Kosher Voedselbank (Kosher Foodbank) is under Sichting Efrat (the Efrat Foundation). Stichting Efrat was established in memory of Efrat Shay, who tragically crashed in Amsterdam on December 06, 2013 while cycling on her way to school. Efrat was 7 years old.

May her memory be a blessing.
