About Us

Bringing comfort and nourishment to those facing health challenges through compassionate care and organic, kosher food.

Our Story

In 2013, Dr. Shara Cohen faced the life-changing diagnosis of breast cancer. Amid the overwhelming chaos of medical appointments and emotional strain, she recognized the pressing need for moments of self-care and introspection. This led her to create Cancer Care Parcel, an initiative aimed at bringing a sense of peace and comfort to those navigating the challenges of cancer treatment. Through thoughtfully curated parcels, Cancer Care Parcel offers a tangible expression of support, helping to restore calm in the lives of those affected.

Meanwhile, Leon Pein, founder of Biblical Foods, has spent over 22 years striving to bring kosher organic meat to the tables of those who prioritize both health and ethical food production. His company, Biblical Foods, supplies carbon-positive, naturally-reared, and organically grown kosher and halal foods, changing the world one mouthful at a time. With a commitment to sustainability and health, Leon’s mission is to provide access to nutritious, ethically produced food across the UK.

Together, Shara and Leon combine their passions and expertise to support individuals with cancer, chronic illnesses, allergies, and other health challenges by offering care packages that nourish both body and soul. Their combined efforts aim to make a meaningful impact on the lives of those in need.
