A man or woman are indeed fortunate if they are able to purchase whatever food they need without having to carefully calculate the consequences of the expense on their weekly or monthly budget. Some of those who are not so fortunate receive meals in congenial surroundings from the charities listed below.
Matan Beseter
(giving secretly)
i.e. charity where the giver does not know the receiver and the receiver does not know the giver, is for Jews the highest form of charitable giving - please give a needy stranger a meal. They will enjoy and be sustained by the food which you have given and, who knows, you may have provided a meal for the Mashiach.
- Karmey Chesed
- "It's hard to imagine Jewish families without enough food on their table, but the occurrence is far too frequent. Families who seem financially stable on the outside don't have basic food – bread, rice, milk – to feed their families. Our dedicated and discreet volunteers regularly deliver well-stocked food baskets to the doorsteps of needy families. Our food packages maintain the health and lives of hundreds of families."

- Meir Panim
- "The largest charity conduit in Israel today, Meir Panim dispenses vital food and social services to the needy via 30 relief centers. These include free restaurants, meals on wheels, children’s lunches, furniture and appliance distribution warehouses, after-school youth clubs, vocational training, occupational rehabilitation, and food credit cards." http://www.meirpanim.org/
