LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL, REUVEN RIVLIN

Meir Panim’s reputation has spread from one end of the country to the other, as an organization devotedly involved in the needs of the public.

The Meir Panim organization brings people together, and bridges the gap between the different ethnic groups, communities and sectors that make up the population of Israel. But all this is nothing at all in comparison to their endless devotion and concern for the underprivileged among us who depend on the generous gifts of other people.

Meir Panim's Mission Statement:

Meir Panim seeks to alleviate and diminish the harmful effects of poverty on thousands of families across Israel by supporting a range of food and social service programs aimed at helping the needy with dignity and respect, including Restaurant-Style Soup Kitchens, Meals-on-Wheels, school lunch programs, prepaid food card distributions and after-school youth clubs for at-risk teens.
