Since the 2nd Lebanon war in 2006, professional Livnot crews and volunteers have restored over 200 dilapidated bomb shelters in the North . Many of them have been transformed into mini-community centers, housing weekly activities for local residents of all ages.

When the 2nd Lebanon war broke out, thousands of residents were faced with the option of risking their lives by staying at home, or taking cover in shelters that lacked minimal sanitary equipments, were dank dark and smelled horribly, and had no electricity or plumbing and no way to store or prepare food.

The children were terrified of the shelters. Some of the worst shelters were even burnt or filled with debris and dead animal remains, and were completely unusable.

Through generous funding from the UJA Federation of New York, The Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County, Israeli Businesses and private donors from North America, Livnot renovated over 200 shelters, turning dozens of them into high standard dual-purpose activity rooms to be used also in times of peace. New bathrooms, showers, kitchenettes, and ceramic floors, were installed. Magnificent murals were painted both outside and inside the shelters, under the supervision of a professional artist, beautifying not only the individual shelters but the entire city.

Livnot raised significant funds, to provide activities in shelters located in poor neighborhoods and far from local community centers for the benefit of the residents.

Through 2009 the following activities will be run in shelters: Martial Arts, English library, Arts and Music for children and Torah Classes for adults.
