On Thursday (26/12/24), the second candle of Hanukkah, volunteers from the "North Stand" association, an association made up of Maccabi Haifa fans, arrived at the children's department at Carmel Hospital, as part of a special activity for the Hanukkah holiday. The association, which aims to strengthen the relationship between the local community and the team's fans, this time embarked on an activity designed to spread light among the hospitalized children and their families.
During the visit, the volunteers distributed sweet donuts, fresh pizzas and coloring books to the children. Beyond the distribution of gifts, the main emphasis was on creating happy and meaningful experiences for all participants. In addition, the volunteers lit Hanukkah candles together with the children and created exciting moments that managed to raise smiles and touch hearts.
According to the representatives of the association: "One of our main flags in the Northern Stand Association is strengthening the connection and connection to the community in Haifa. From the first day of the foundation of the association, we make sure to work for society and the community in the city, to strengthen its connection with the city - whether through social initiatives or in other ways. The visit to the children's wards on Hanukkah has become a tradition that we are excited to continue every year, to illustrate that football is much more than a game - it is a community, values and social responsibility."
This activity joins a series of social initiatives led by the association, and emphasizes its deep commitment to the Haifa community. The warm and family atmosphere that prevailed during the visit was a living testimony to the power of mutual guarantee and the ability to spread light even in places where it is especially needed.
The visit to the children's ward at the Carmel Hospital not only strengthened the connection between the Maccabi Haifa fans and the community, but also showed how the values of giving, support and love can make the Hanukkah holiday truly special - for everyone involved.
