MDA for the Community
In preparation for Pesach, tens of thousands of food packages for low-income families were collected by MDA volunteers as part of Operation Kimcha Depsascha.
Operation "Kamcha Depascha", which has become a tradition in Magen David Adom, was held for the 17th year and involved thousands of MDA employees and volunteers of all ages to collect food products for low-income families.
This year, a special collaboration was established with the "Yochananof" chain, which allowed MDA volunteers to stand at the entrance to the chain's branches and explained to buyers about the importance of donation and assistance for the other. The packages were delivered to 15,000 households in Israel.
MDA Director General Eli Bin: "This year, our food collection campaign has become more important and significant than ever, in light of the health-economic crisis that has befallen us and dragged many families below the poverty line. Magen David Adom has continued to help as many families in need to celebrate Pesach in the most dignified way possible, with a variety of food products. Our connection with the community is a top value for us and we are in constant contact with welfare officials in the country throughout the year and especially during the holiday. It is very important for us to reach as many families as possible, these are first-rate humanitarian missions.
