Manna, formerly Meir Panim UK, has been operating since September 2008 and raises awareness and support for Meir Panim’s work in Israel. As one of Israel’s largest relief organisations Meir Panim is on the front line in the daily battle against poverty and hunger in Israel, but we rely on public generosity.

We work hard to provide a large range of services and over our 13 years in operation we have built up our provision to reach many of those in need. With an annual budget of $5.2m, 36% of our donations come from within Israel. We have over 1,500 devoted volunteers nationwide.

We focus on delivering practical solutions as effectively as possible, with overheads kept low so maximum benefit can be transferred to those in need.

Manna aim to help alleviate poverty in Israel. At present 1.6 million people in Israel, out of a total population of little more than 8.5 million live below the poverty line and all monies raised from this game will help those in need.

In 2014 Manna helped to ensure that:

7,850 Food Shopping Cards were distributed to those who are poor and hungry,

4,700 food packages were delivered before Pesach and Rosh Hashanah,

4 After School Clubs were attended by 295 hungry children.

362,000 hot meals were served at our network of 6 Food Centres,

93,000 Meals on Wheels were delivered and

81,000 hot lunches were distributed to schools and After School Clubs.
