Chasdei Naomi and the Dan Bus Company will once again be working this Purim, operating the join Chessed Bus, the daily HaMevaser reports. The variegated bus will bring clowns and other volunteers, all working to deliver thousands of mislochei manos to those in need.

The bus is quite visible as well as it is audible, for the large loudspeakers mounted outside contribute to the effect. While delivering a major dose of Purim fun to the children, the bus will be focusing on getting the Purim packages to the ill and less fortunate, with Chasdei Naomi officials stressing the importance of bringing the yomtov to as many people as possible with chas v’sholom causing any discomfort or embarrassment.

Dan’s Eitan Ficksman boasts that this will mark the sixth year that Dan merits taking part in the project, stressing the company does its best to meet the needs of the chareidi community. He feels the project is more than just chessed, presenting an opportunity to get out and meet its ridership.

Chasdei Naomi’s Rav Yosef Cohen thanks and praises Dan for its cooperation, adding it was Dan that came up with the concept of the Purim chessed bus years ago.

The bus will be operating on 9 and 10 Adar (19 & 20 February) between 16:30-20:30 throughout Bnei Brak. For additional information, one may phone Chasdei Naomi at 1-800-677-777.
