Meir Panim’s volunteers rose to the occasion and collected large amounts of fresh fruit, spreads and snacks, while Meir Panim’s cooks in the local free restaurants cooked hundreds of extra meals, packaged them in individual trays and delivered them directly to the soldiers, while still hot and reminiscent of their mother’s cooking.

Meir Panim volunteers also brought fresh food daily to the “chalim” army base, through warning sirens and falling rockets, to ensure that the soldiers fighting for our safety would enjoy fresh food, and know how much we appreciate all that they do for us.
