New Jdeal: $5.50 for $11 to feed Hungry Children at Meir Panim in Israel (through matching donor)

 
It's easy to get caught up in the throes of Mishloach Manot, giving gifts of food to our fellow Jews to fulfill a mitzvah and make Purim more joyous. But another important mitzvah we're obligated to keep this holiday is Matanot l'Evyonim, giving gifts to the poor. With this inspiring Jdeal:

• Spend $5.50, and through an anonymous matching donor, provide $11 worth of food (two meals) for people in need with Meir Panim
• 100% of the proceeds that jdeal receives from this offer will be given to Meir Panim
• Purchase as many vouchers as you like and help make Purim a special time for everyone
• Meir Panim will utilize all the money on Purim to feed needy people in Israel so the donation you give fulfills the mitzvah of Matanot l'Evyonim

According to the latest poverty report from the National Insurance Institute of Israel in November 2010, there are 1,774,800 people living in poverty; among them are 850,300 children. With one in four people living in poverty, and two out of five children suffering from hunger, Meir Panim has an enormous responsibility to help those who need it most.

Meir Panim's food and social service programs help to alleviate poverty in the short-term and provide long-term, proactive solutions to assist needy Israelis to become active, self-sufficient members of Israeli society. The Meir Panim organization provides free restaurants, meals on wheels, meals for children, food shopping cards, after school youth clubs and other benefits.

Expires 03/20/2011. Donation will automatically be made to Meir Panim on your behalf.
