Your Donation for Passover in Israel Can Help Families Celebrate with Dignity

Go ahead and picture Passover in Israel, families gathered around the Seder table, reading the Haggadah, sharing symbolic foods, and celebrating freedom together. It’s meant to be a beautiful time, right? But for thousands of Israelis living in poverty, this special holiday brings anxiety and heartache instead of joy. The cost of matzah, wine, and the festive meal is simply out of reach.

So that’s exactly why Meir Panim has been stepping in for over two decades. Since 2000, we’ve worked to ensure no Israeli is left behind, especially during meaningful times like Passover. And with your help, we can continue to bring nourishment, dignity, and hope to those who need it most.

You’re Giving More than Just Food

But this isn’t just charity, it’s about empowerment. We deliver home-cooked holiday meals, provide pre-paid grocery shopping cards, and offer hot, festive meals at our free restaurant styled soup kitchens all across the country. This ensures that every recipient can enjoy Passover with dignity, pride, and independence.

Just imagine a single mother able to walk into a grocery store, head held high, using her Meir Panim food card to buy kosher-for-Passover essentials for her children. Or even an elderly Holocaust survivor receiving a lovingly prepared Seder meal delivered right to their home. Well, that’s the impact you create when you give.

The Need is Greater than Ever Before

Today, over 1.1 million Israeli children live below the poverty line. And so many families are forced to make impossible choices between putting food on the table or paying for rent and utilities. Plus, inflation has made basic groceries harder to afford, and Passover essentials feel out of reach for far too many.

But here at Meir Panim, we believe in showing compassion and building resilience. Your donation directly supports:

• Grocery cards that allow families to choose their own food with dignity
• Holiday food packages filled with traditional Seder items
• Warm meals served in a welcoming environment at our free restaurants

And for so many out there, this is the only way they can celebrate Passover with family and community.

Be Part of the Story This Year

Passover is about freedom, but freedom from hunger and despair should be part of the story, too, and together, we can help thousands of Israelis experience the holiday with full hearts and full tables. So, your donation for Passover in Israel will change lives. Every dollar helps fill a plate, ease a burden, and bring the true spirit of the holiday to life for someone in crisis.

This year, as you prepare for your own Seder, consider opening your heart to those who may not have the means to celebrate. So, just donate now and be part of Meir Panim’s mission to bring dignity, nourishment, and hope to Israel’s most vulnerable.
