Ukraine Relief and Recovery

Since the start of the Ukraine war, the Mandel Foundation allocated $11.4 million in emergency funding, distributed through several organizations, including the Jewish Agency for Israel (JAFI), the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC), and United Hatzalah. Through the end of 2024, three years since the war began, the JDC has served over 53,000 Ukrainian Jews, with 35,000 receiving ongoing emergency aid such as food, medicine, homecare, and evacuation services. United Hatzalah helped over 3,000 displaced individuals resettle in Israel, distributed generators to heavily impacted areas, and provided over 145 tons of aid, including food and medicine. The funds also facilitated the transport of medical professionals and crisis response teams. Funding from the Mandel Foundation provides winter survival, trauma support, elder assistance and employment services to those impacted by poverty and displacement caused by the ongoing war and economic crisis in Ukraine
