WARM THE NEEDY

Warm the Needy was founded in 2003 with a simple yet critical mission to warm the hearts and homes of Israel's needy. With over 1.5 million Israelis living below the poverty line, one in four adults and one in three children live in substandard conditions that often include the lack of protection from the harsh and bitter weather during winter months... Warm the Needy maintains strong relationships with many major relief organizations ensuring that every family has everything it so desperately needs to live... In 2006, Warm the Needy helped approximately 1,500 families living in old, poorly built apartments, survive the winter. Working hand in hand with activists from major relief organizations throughout the country, we reached out to those suffering families by providing them with a heater and financial assistance to cover electric bills.
