We’re proud and grateful to have helped support our courageous union siblings in Palestine for the past several months.
The Palestinian Postal Service Workers Union (PPSWU) was recently able to prepare 40 food packages for low-income kindergarten workers in Hebron.

Funds also went to recreational and educational programming for children, giving them moments of joy, play, and emotional relief amid deeply psychologically difficult circumstances.
Funds also went toward food assistance in Gaza. 40 low-income families, including at least 10 families of postal and telecommunications workers, received direct food access!
PPSWU also shared recent images of the post office HQ in Gaza City surrounded by rubble, and for comparison, the same area before the war:
