About

"Making Hungry Children Happy" is a registered Nonprofit Organization that was established by Osher and Shani Shukrun. It operates entirely on a volunteer basis and 100% of all donations are dedicated to the cause. The main activity of the nonprofit organization focuses on a free supermarket in Petah Tikva, which addresses the basic needs of families in need. This includes consumer and hygiene products, as well as dairy and meat products. The supermarket operates under the principle of "providing assistance to anyone who asks."

Additionally, the nonprofit organization distributes holiday food baskets to families in need, ensuring everyone can properly celebrate the holidays. Furthermore, it manages a Facebook group of about 35,000 "angels," through which it provides immediate assistance to a wide range of severe distress cases without delay.

I am the mother of four small children, and I have been helped by the Happy Hungry Children association for three years and I can say that there would not have been food on the table for my children without the help of the association. When the refrigerator was empty, no one volunteered to help. It was only after I contacted the association that there were food supplies at home, without this help The children had something to eat.

Making hungry children happy.. I came across this association.. during a very difficult and complex time I was going through. I was ashamed.. I didn't know who they were but I had nothing to lose. And I turned to them.. I didn't expect, I didn't think. At the same time I asked for help with a little food.. they just did an experiment and helped. I got a lot of food for me and the children. It doesn't stop there. I always remember me and the children receive happy. To me it's a luxury, they don't forget. Once on one of the children's birthday. It was a bad month..and they just surprised..we organized a surprise for him. And later my daughter tries not to ask..but I know they will always be there for me as well. Her free super is amazing. I'm just terribly far away. They always care so much about everyone in every matter, both for those far away and for those close to me. They see the transparencies. And I wish them only the best, they are amazing and always willing to help them, thank you from the bottom of my heart and also from my Jewish children who know you. the association What they do for us☺️❤️

I've been helping the association for five years. I'm a single parent of 2 little ones. I don't have the means to go shopping. I live from hand to mouth! I thank you for everything you have given me up to this day, you have fed my children and made sure that they don't need anything again, clothes, food, I really don't know what I would do without your association, thank you very much, I am grateful to you every day

"The Good Land" | The Supermarket in Petah Tikva That's Entirely Free for Those Who Need Help

In Petah Tikva, there's a grocery store that looks completely normal - food items on the shelves, shopping carts for customers - but one thing it doesn't have: cash registers • All products are free of charge, and they're intended for those who can't afford them • It all started when Shani posted on Facebook – which rolled into a charity operation that feeds thousands of hungry people
