“As a child of holocaust survivors, I know first hand about the trauma and heartache survivors still carry to this day. I wanted to help ease as much pain as possible for the survivors still suffering in Israel.”

Meir Panim’s Programs
RESTAURANT-STYLE SOUP KITCHENS
Meir Panim’s Restaurant-Style Soup Kitchens are a dignified alternative to traditional soup kitchens, providing 1,320,000 quality meals annually in a comfortable dining setting to impoverished Israelis.
MEALS-ON-WHEELS
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.
meals for children
Innocent children are the most unfortunate victims of Israel’s poverty crisis. Over 900,000 children in Israel are currently living below the poverty line. Meir Panim’s Meals for Children program provides one hot, nourishing meal every day to needy children in Israel – because no child should go to bed hungry.
NEIGHBORHOOD YOUTH CENTERS FOR AT-RISK YOUTH
Meir Panim runs a network of Neighborhood Youth Centers in impoverished areas which help develop important life skills while working to break the cycle of poverty.
HOLOCAUST SURVIVOR DAY CENTER
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.
CHALLAH FOR SHABBAT
Every family is entitled to celebrate Shabbat, a day of peace, joy and delicious foods. But what if there is no food to put on the table? What will make Shabbat special if the day is filled with hunger and want?
