The Jewish Community Foundation Youth Philanthropy Board of Greater Phoenix has generously agreed to partially fund Meir Panim’s TikvaHope after-school program in Sderot, a southern Israeli city that borders Gaza.

This important contribution will enable at-risk youth to strive toward a better future through academic assistance, nourishing meals, and emotional support. Teens also benefit from a wide range of programming including recreational, enrichment, and cultural activities that are designed to ease the daily trauma affecting their lives.
