About Us
Smiles for the Kids is a grassroots initiative with a mission to bring happiness and comfort to families impacted by hardship due to illness, poverty, stress, family situations or ongoing conflicts.
We create events and smiles for those in need and serve as a non-profit event company, creating volunteer opportunities for individuals, families, and organizations both in Israel and abroad. We also partner with local businesses, including caterers, party planners, candy stores, and home cooks, who are facing financial hardship and use their services to create Smiles for the Kids, families and anyone who needs a smile.
