Following the events of October 7 and the ensuing crisis, individuals, communities, foundations, and organizations have rallied together to bolster Israel's resilience and provide support to vulnerable populations. The Shashua Family Foundation swiftly mobilized to address the needs of those affected by the conflict through three primary avenues: emergency relief for small businesses, establishment of Early Childhood rehabilitation program, and assistance to organizations engaged in emergency response efforts.

    Reshet

    Responding to the concerns raised by small business owners affected by the conflict, the WeR1 community initiated the Reshet project – Purchase, Sharing, Contribution. Under this initiative, The Social Solidarity Foundation procures goods from businesses, facilitates their transportation, and directly donates them to various associations and populations in need. 

    In light of the escalating crisis, this response has been expanded to include businesses from northern regions of the country as well as businesses operated by reservists.
