Home Refresh (Preview)
Rescued food, on real tables — every day of the week.
Zeh L'Zeh moves rescued food to families with choice, privacy and dignity — through live inventory, private custom orders and scheduled pickup.
A look inside Zeh L'Zeh
From one room to a 24/6 operation
It started small
Families would come into one room and take the food that was available.
Drive-through
As demand grew, the operation moved to a drive-through system.
100+ families in one day
More than 100 families came through on Fridays; at peak, waits could reach ~30 minutes.
Private online ordering
Families began privately selecting the food their household actually needs.
Scheduled custom orders
Private custom orders, live inventory, individual fulfillment and 24/6 food rescue. Friday is now just a smaller last-minute selection.
Built on chesed, run with precision
Zeh L'Zeh began in 2017 with food being distributed from one small room. Under the leadership of Rabbi Sholom Rokeach, it has grown into a large 24/6 food-rescue operation serving hundreds of families with privacy, choice and dignity.
Monsey — and beyond
Our main operation is based in Monsey, NY, with additional Zeh L'Zeh operations and programs in multiple locations, including:

Why donations are needed
Most of the food is donated — but moving $10.5M+ of food a year takes real infrastructure: staff, refrigeration, utilities, software, paper goods, fulfillment, equipment, transportation, maintenance and volunteer coordination.
Almost 20 large fridges & freezers — and we need more
Zeh L'Zeh runs almost twenty large double- and triple-door refrigerators and freezers to keep rescued food fresh. Additional walk-in capacity is urgently needed to keep growing.
Help Fund the Walk-In100+ active volunteers
Drivers, sorters, packers and dispatchers keep food moving from 50+ donor locations to 325+ families every week.
Fund the operation that feeds 325+ families a week
Every dollar moves roughly ten dollars of rescued food onto a family's table. Help keep it running, 24/6.
