With the outbreak of the war, Ma’ase Center moved all of its volunteering activities from routine volunteering to emergency volunteering all over the country, including the establishment of volunteering centers in cooperation with the local authorities, aiding in distributing food, medicine, and operating an aid center for the elderly, evacuation of shelters, and running informal educational activities for children and families of evacuees, etc.
In the last month, 938 volunteers helped more than 3000 citizens, including children, elders, teenagers, parents, etc. The activity began on October 9 and is expected to continue for another 6-8 weeks, and as time goes by, we increase and diversify the volunteering according to needs that arise from the field, such as volunteering in agricultural harvesting, etc. In addition, later on, Ma’ase Center will assist in holding educational activities for groups of young people between the ages of 16-18 who were evacuated from Sderot and are currently in the Dead Sea.
