Every year, The Fellowship helps prepare thousands of children across Israel for the new school year. Many of these children’s families cannot afford backpacks and other essential school supplies, making this support an invaluable resource.
Distribution day took place on July 30, with Fellowship staff and 20 volunteers coming together to pack backpacks for children and distribute vouchers to their families. At the event, The Fellowship distributed 4,100 vouchers. In addition, the Back-to-School grant approved in December helped provide vouchers to another 11,980 families.
The backpacks were more than just practical, they were personalized. Children could choose backpacks featuring their favorite colors, characters, and designs. Each backpack also came filled with school essentials, including notebooks, pencils and pens, erasers, and other supplies.
Thanks to our generous donors, The Fellowship was able to equip children whose families might otherwise have gone without these necessities, while also supporting at-risk youth with the tools they need to begin the school year ready to learn and succeed.
“All your children will be taught by the Lord, and great will be their peace” (Isaiah 54:13).
