Tzedaká – National Campaign to Collect Medicines

The 3rd National Campaign to collect medicines will take place from June 11th to 17th. Institutions from all around the country will be involved, with the purpose of collecting drugs for 4500 people who suffer from chronic illnesses and need those medicines to live.

Thanks to the effort of volunteers and institutions from all over the country, the previous campaigns raised $270.240 in medicines during 2005, and $453.423 in 2006. This translates into the possibility to keep providing thousands of people with health care.
