Crisis In Israel Resources

The Ameinu Children's Emergency Fund

As a sign of our personal solidarity with the people of Israel and as a concrete contribution to the well being of the children in the north, Ameinu has established the Ameinu Children's Emergency Fund. We have arranged for the money collected to be used in Israel to purchase games and toys as well to help support special summer camps being established for these children currently under siege.
