ABOUT

FFHL Regional Support

Over the years, FFHL Regional Support Groups have been a vital part of fundraising and awareness for the work of FFHL in the Holy Land. These groups are formed by passionate Christian's who come together to form a committed Regional Group working in unity towards a common goal. They agree to host an annual or bi-annual dinner dedicated to fundraising and raising awareness of FFHL programs. The below region invites you to join them in support of their goals and the FFHL mission.
