VAN DELIVERED TO SDEROT TO ASSIST VOLUNTEERS WHO CARE FOR THE NEEDY

PROJECT UPDATE: In February, we reported that The Joshua Fund had helped finance the purchase of a van for the Sderot municipality’s director of volunteers so that he and his could move relief supplies and volunteer rapid responders far more quickly and efficiently. For years, the city had promised to buy these volunteers a van but there had never been enough money in the budget. The director, a young Ethiopian immigrant, had tears in eyes when he realized that we really were serious about helping him when no one else would. Good news: the van has been purchased and delivered to Sderot. It is pictured above. Thanks so much to all who helped make this happen!
