At the fintech company
Altescher,
a tradition began 3 years ago of distributing parcels in various hospital departments, including children's and geriatric departments, and this year the activity also took place in the treatment and rehabilitation departments of soldiers injured during the war.
The type of volunteering was chosen together by the company's employees, who wanted to expand it so that instead of preparing package deliveries independently and distributing them, the company purchased them directly from Ofek, an association that works for social change, which deals with locating, sorting, placing, training and accompanying thousands of young people in significant tasks that are at the top of the list of social and civil priorities in Israel .

At the fintech company
Razap,
the activity of giving for the community was dedicated to making children who were displaced from their homes happy during this difficult time.
The company contacted one of the evacuees of Kiryat Shmona, Sun Peretz, who took on the role of "welfare manager" for the Kiryat Shmona evacuees.
Braizep decided to produce a happy Purim happening for the children staying at the hotel in Tel Aviv and harnessed the Elef investment fund and the Soli company (formerly SafeUp), which are expected to hold a particularly invested "purim" that will include food stalls, craft and game stalls and a Purim atmosphere that will try to distract them from the events of the period.
In conclusion
, various studies show that doing for others, volunteering for the community, is good for the volunteer.
The important act helps to reduce feelings of stress and depression, feelings that are common these days, and increases the general good feelings, thus there is a double profit from the volunteering activity.
On the upcoming Purim holiday, the joy will not be complete until all the abductees return home, but we can be satisfied that we are a society that loves to do good for others.
