With more than one in five Israelis living in poverty, the opportunities to bless both Jewish and Arab people are always before us. Working with local partners on the ground, The Joshua Fund’s Israeli team currently provides food to 24 distribution centers serving more than 2,500 families monthly.
Approximately 3,000-holiday packs are provided to families in need twice a year during Christian and Jewish holidays for Jews and Arabs. We support two active Pro-Life projects through grants to partnering local Christian organizations.
Back-to-school projects serve roughly 1,500 kids each year, providing new, quality backpacks full of school supplies and partnering with local Christian Arab and Jewish social workers and lawyers to provide free high-quality legal and social aid to families living in poverty who need legal representation but can’t afford it for socio-legal accompaniment in areas of human and civil rights, public services, family, juvenile, and labor law.
Your prayers and gifts empower The Joshua Fund to carry out this critical work. As you watch this video, please pray that many open doors will continue to be available to our partners on the ground as they care for those in need.
We share the love of God by first showing the love of God. Since our founding in 2006, The Joshua Fund has invested millions of dollars in blessing Holocaust survivors, the elderly, single mothers, homeless people, widows, orphans, and other poor and needy Jews, Muslims, and Christians in the Epicenter.
"Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes or daily food. If one of you says to him, 'Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed,' but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it?"
(James 2:15-16 NIV)
Therefore, in partnership with local congregations and other allies, we use a significant portion of our funding to order, stock, and provide food monthly throughout the Land. The food is offered via centralized Distribution Centers or, in some cases, by home delivery to assist the poor and needy in the name of Jesus.
