Oftentimes, it happens so that older people turn out to be lonely, abandoned, and socially vulnerable. They don’t only need financial help but social life as well. That is why our congregation has set up various clubs for them. They can fellowship, listen to music, and even dance there; they can share a part of God’s warmth and joy, and find new friends. Also, our congregation helps them with food and medicine if need be.
“Echad” is a crisis center for those children and teens who found themselves in difficult life circumstances. Generally, they are children from families in crisis. Volunteers help kids feel needed and significant, and most importantly, to get to know their Heavenly Father.
