Neighbors for Neighbors

The Fund's Activity

The activity is run from a small office at the heart of the neighborhood, by staff and volunteers who are always devoted to the success of Kupat Hashchuna in all its activities – throughout the year in general and before holidays in particular.

Managing Funds for Cases of Distress

Managing funds for dozens of cases of distress in the neighborhood and giving a fast, effective response to each case: weddings for children of parents unable to provide for them, orphans left without a father or mother, families in which one parent has passed away and who need monthly support, and fundraising for orphans' weddings.

Cooperation with Funds

Many donors and large funds rely on Kupat Hashchuna to support needy residents of the neighborhood. Through the fund, tens and hundreds of thousands of shekels are transferred each year to needy families.
