Who We Are:

Approaching age 80 at the time, Dudley Goff the founder of Israel Food Outreach, felt the calling of God to do

something in his retirement years that would

truly bless Israel and through that blessing

and evidence of good works, lead non-believing

 Jews and non-Jews to Jesus Christ.

Turns out there was an organization in California’s Central Valley near Fresno, who's founder Wally Wenge likewise felt a similar calling to bless Israel.

Through  God's divine appointment the two groups met and Dudley learned that Gleanings for the Hungry (a unit of the world renown YWAN - Youth with a Mission ministry) was already feeding many nations throughout the world.

However, not aware of the need prior to 2010, Gleanings had never sent a single container to Israel.  When Dudley asked them if they would like to, they said yes, and that Fall the first container of dried soup mix was on its way.

Sadly, Wally never saw the fulfillment of his dream, because he was called home in 1999, some years before Gleanings and Dudley ever met.

But his dream of blessing Israel did indeed become a reality when Gleanings and Israel Food Outreach teamed up to send dried soup mix to the needy in Israel.

Gleanings for the Hungry provides the soup mix for free, and Israel Food Outreach raises the needed funds to cover the cost of shipping to Israel, plus port costs, VAT taxes, customs fees, etc.

Local farmers provide food to Gleanings free of charge at the end of the California' Central Valley's harvest season, in order to provide for the world's starving population.  (Leviticus 23;22)

Since starting, this partnership has shipped over 30 Container Loads of Soup, Quilts and Needed Supplies to Israel, providing over 30 million bowls of Delicious and Nourishing soup to her people and ministering the Gospel of Jesus Christ at every opportunity.  With your help we can do even greater works.

Partners in Progress to Bless and Share the

knowledge and love of Christ.

Now approaching 90, Dudley exclaims "We've only just begun"

The relationship between Gleanings and IFO continued to build momentum until just before 2020 when the Israeli government made significant changes in their import regulations now requiring all food providers to have ISO certification* (see below for a brief explanation)

Not to be derailed from their original and mutual mission, Gleanings and Israel Food Outreach have developed a workable solution to this temporary setback and plan to resume shipments by this August.  However at some point in the near future the ISO certification will need to be fulfilled at a cost of some $30,000.  We are currently seeking help with this and are trusting the Lord to provide, as He always has.

We now invite you to become a partner with us in this work by blessing Israel with Dried Soup Mix, Clothing, and Baby items, along with hand-made quilts for Holocaust Survivors and other important needs. Your tax-deductible gift in any amount is greatly needed and appreciated. Click this link for the various ways to help Israel Food Outreach or to give:  DONATE
