Volunteering Opportunities In Israel
There are many people in Israel who need your help. One particular form of support that is much needed right now is food distribution.
Meir Panim is a charity that is dedicated to feeding the less fortunate and hungry people of this country. We have been running for 20 years and are constantly looking for volunteers to help provide hands-on support. For those who have been considering volunteering in Israel, partnering up with our charity could be a great way to get involved.
What does volunteering include?
By choosing to volunteer in Israel, you will be helping to provide warm meals to families, children and individuals in need. This involves assisting with basic food preparation work tasks such as peeling vegetables, cooking food, packing meals and serving it to those who come to dine on site. You may also be able to help transport food and products.
Meir Panim has voluntary opportunities across Israel in towns and cities such as Jerusalem, Tiberias, Zefat, Dimona and Akiva. You can choose a location and time that is suited to you. Every small bit of help makes a difference.
Who will I be helping in Israel?
There are many people throughout Israel who are in need of food as a result of poverty or the ongoing war. This includes children, young adults, struggling families and older people including holocaust survivors. When it comes to helping those affected by the war, we help provide meals to soldiers on the front line, displaced families and those who may have lost loved ones in the conflict.
The location you choose to volunteer at will determine who you help. If there is a certain community within the country that you have a personal connection with and would like to help, we may be able to help you find voluntary work in this location. You can check out the location of our branches here on our site.
How can I apply to volunteer?
If you are interested in volunteering in Israel, we have a form on our website that you can fill out. This allows you to specify the day of the week that you would like to help and the location.
We will then get back to you and secure you a voluntary position if available. Meir Panim relies heavily on the help of volunteers and we value everyone who reaches out to us. Insurance is provided to all volunteers.
What are other ways I can help?
Beyond volunteering in Israel, there are many ways in which you can help support our organization. You could also help by:
- Donating food: This could include donating a food basket or donating money in the form of prepaid shopping cards, so that individuals can buy their own food.
- Raising funds: Donating funds or helping to raise funds for Meir Panim can greatly help us to continue running our organization and catering to those in need.
Spreading awareness: Simply helping to spread the word of our organization and the work we do can help us to attract more donors and volunteers.
