Supporting our Soldiers
In Dimona, Or Akiva, Tiberias, and Tzfat we are collecting essentials for soldiers. These include; food, meals, snacks, toiletries ranging from toothbrushes to deodorant, sleeping bags, sweaters, and more.
Food for Families and Holocaust Survivors
As people are trapped in their homes, food and meals are being collected and prepared for families and Holocaust Survivors in need, especially Israel’s most vulnerable and homebound.
Sderot Community Center
Meir Panim’s center in Sderot offers a safe space, therapeutic activities, and community building opportunities to the city’s at-risk youth and seniors who have been through so much trauma.
In the midst of chaos and tragedy, the strength and resilience of individuals give us hope. These are their stories:
Nissim
Branch Manager for Meir Panim in Dimona
Yehudit
Branch Manager for Meir Panim in Tiberias
The terrifying reality of having all her adult children residing near the Gaza Strip didn’t deter Yehudit from opening her branch. With a heart filled with concern and anxiety, she arrived early, dedicating herself to cooking, preparing, and packing, all while struggling to maintain contact with her family.
