Latet

Latet (Hebrew: לתת, lit. to give) is an Israeli nonprofit aid organization that was founded in 1996 by Gilles Darmon, then a new immigrant from France. Acting as an umbrella organization for 180 local NGOs across 105 communities in the country, it provides for the basic needs of populations living in poverty and food insecurity. The organization operates a national food bank and runs several aid and educational programs. Among its core activities, Latet distributes $30 million worth of food annually to 60,000 families in need and 1,000 Holocaust survivors living in poverty.
