MAKOM
The people of Israel have made Israel what it is today; from an underdeveloped nation absorbing immigrants from around the world, we have made Israel vital and thriving thanks to its people. The strategic vision of Jewish National Fund has been, and continues to be, to ensure a strong, secure, and prosperous future for the land and people of Israel. This is what MAKOM is all about—the people of Israel making Israel thrive, together with you.
MAKOM's Response to COVID-19 Hunger Relief
Almost 1 million people have lost their jobs or have been furloughed since the COVID-19 pandemic hit. Thousands of individuals and families are unable to put food on their tables daily.
Unfortunately, Israel does not have a national program to make sure no one goes hungry. MAKOM communities have stepped up and are responding to the immediate need by operating community food pantries.
