As we walk down the Passover food aisles of our local supermarket we cannot help but wonder how people who are experiencing economic difficulties can possibly prepare for the holiday. The trip to the butcher was even more unsettling…
What we witnessed in both places should not have been a surprise…we were getting far more requests for help from several of the programs that we work with than ever before…more and more families and individuals were struggling to make this holiday special, whether it be in Israel or here in the States.
Through the generosity of several donors who recognize these needs the Good People Fund has been able to provide supermarket gift cards not only for several Holocaust survivors but also for Second Generation people who are struggling to make ends meet. Additionally, in Israel, we are excited to know that our funds have helped dozens of families celebrate in a proper, menschlich way.
