In addition to the Christian elderly club in Gush Halav, The Fellowship has funded renovations and improvements at other centers that provide enrichment, care, and support to nearly 100 senior residents each day. In October, Fellowship staff attended inauguration ceremonies celebrating the newly renovated spaces at the Hispin Elderly Club and the Kiryat Yam Day Center. Improvements at both centers included new furniture, multimedia systems such as televisions, kitchen appliances, and other essential equipment.
The Hispin Elderly Club is located in the southern Golan Heights and serves approximately 100 elderly residents each day. The new equipment and improvements allow more members to enjoy the center’s activities, socialize, and spend time outside their homes. The inauguration ceremony took place on October 13 and was attended by Golan Regional Council Head Uri Kellner, Deputy Head Yaakov Sheh Lavan, and other representatives of the local authority.
Kiryat Yam is in the Haifa Bay area of northern Israel, where the day center provides a supportive environment dedicated to maintaining and improving the quality of life of senior citizens. Between 70 and 95 people visit the center each day. A multidisciplinary team of professionals provides nutritious meals, opportunities for social interaction, and therapeutic services as needed, with support from a social worker, physiotherapist, and nurse. The inauguration ceremony on October 12 was attended by Daniela Elron, CEO of the Shilo Association, which operates the center, and center director Hila Flash. Kiryat Yam Mayor David Even Tzur was also in attendance.
These centers are a lifeline for elderly residents, many of whom live alone and rely on them for nutritious meals, companionship, and essential care. Thanks to The Fellowship’s support, these improvements enhance the quality of services provided, creating a more welcoming and supportive environment that brings comfort, dignity, and hope to the seniors who depend on them.
