Youth Organization Distributes Holiday Food Packages to 1,500 Families
Approximately 400 teenagers from the Sachi (Unique Kindness Patrol) organization, spanning from Rehovot to Eilat in the southern district, gathered at the Kiryat Gat Sports Center for a large-scale regional distribution event ahead of the holiday season. The initiative, attended by Kiryat Gat Mayor Kfir Suissa and Amir Ben Shimon, CEO of the community center network, saw the young participants pack and deliver holiday packages to about 1,500 low-income families across the region, aiming to enable them to celebrate with dignity.
Sachi, which originated in Kiryat Gat and serves as the flagship project of the "Nachach - Giving as a Way of Life" non-profit, trains teenagers in social leadership and community action. Its members are not just regular volunteers; they actively and regularly participate in managing initiatives, identifying needy families, and operating a weekly food distribution system throughout the year.
The packing and distribution operation was a collaborative effort with the municipal community center network and the city's youth department. City officials praised the teenagers for their impressive mobilization, volunteer spirit, and dedication to strengthening the community and mutual responsibility.
