Meir Panim’s Restaurant-Style Soup Kitchens are a dignified alternative to traditional soup kitchens, roughly 2,600,000 quality meals annually, in a comfortable dining setting to impoverished Israelis.
For the homebound, elderly, and disabled – including Holocaust survivors – venturing to Meir Panim’s Restaurant-Style Soup Kitchens for a meal is impossible. Meir Panim responds to their needs by delivering freshly packaged meals to homebound individuals each day.
Meir Panim’s Holocaust Survivor Day Center in Dimona offers special programs for surviors, ensuring that all their needs are met while creating a fun and social environment that they may otherwise not have.
Our clubs are transforming cities with high populations of families who live below the poverty line. These communal buildings are shaping children’s lives so that they can rise out of poverty and become contributing members of Israeli society.
Meir Panim runs a community center which helps teens at risk develop important life skills while working to break the cycle of poverty.
A fresh produce market that takes place weekly in all 5 of our branches, providing 10,000 low-income families weekly with the normality of a Shuk (Market) and the dignity to choose their own produce to cook in the comfort of their homes.
