Our Fund is not just a team, but one big family, in which volunteers are the golden foundation of Hesed, whose help is invaluable and deeply respected by employees and wards. After all, who is a volunteer? It’s a person with the habit of taking care of loved ones, helping them voluntarily and free of charge. The reward for this is the thanks and gratitude of people who have been given substantial help. It’s with great, sincere pleasure and pride that we award the most active and permanent volunteers – those who, in the conditions of the military crisis in Ukraine, wholeheartedly help socially vulnerable people!
