Dimona update ❤️
After the missile strike in Dimona toward the end of March, Meir Panim’s local branch was left with serious damage.
With barely two weeks until Passover, our team knew one thing clearly: the people who depended on us still needed food, support, and care.
So even without a safe branch to work from, the work continued.
Meals were brought in from nearby Be’er Sheva. Pantry boxes and holiday support were distributed. Our van became a working distribution point, helping food and essentials reach elderly people, homebound residents, and families living in poverty.
Now, we have an update.
One building, which housed our Holocaust survivor day center and children’s after-school center, sustained severe structural damage and is still awaiting a government decision on whether it can be repaired or must be demolished and rebuilt.
But the second building, home to our Restaurant-Style soup kitchen, kitchen, pantry packing area, and courtyard, has been approved as safe to return to.
Repairs are still underway, but the kitchen is open again. Pantry boxes are being packed. Hot meals are being served. Volunteers, IDF soldiers, and Rotem employees are helping bring the branch back to life.
Thank you for standing with Dimona and helping Meir Panim continue serving through damage, disruption, and rebuilding.
