Matanot La'evyonim

It’s a mitzvah on Purim to give money and food to those in need! You can fulfill the mitzvah on your own by giving directly to a place or person of your choosing or you can use one of the links provided here:

– Matanot La’Evyonim for Israeli families evacuated from their homes (The same link also offers the opportunity to send Mishloach Manot to Israeli soldiers who have no family in the country.)
