Imagine being thousands of miles from family, serving in a foreign country, and returning from a week on base to an empty home. For lone soldiers in the Israeli army- people who are not originally Israeli but chose to dedicate their lives to protect us by joining the IDF- this is their reality. But thanks to your generosity, we’re able to step in as a surrogate family, filling their homes and hearts with comfort, care, and a taste of home each week.
Through your donations, we’ve been able to shop for these brave men and women, providing essentials like fresh food, Shabbat treats, and even medications—showing them that they’re never alone. Every dollar you contribute helps us remind these soldiers that they’re supported, valued, and celebrated.
Leaving family and friends to serve in a foreign country is a daunting journey, especially for lone soldiers who have chosen this path. For many, the absence of family support means that the simple comforts of home are hard to come by. But thanks to your generosity, these soldiers have nutritious food, treats, and everything they need to feel cared for, especially when they come home from grueling weeks on their bases.
Beyond the basic needs, these weekly shopping trips give us a chance to provide a sense of belonging and familiarity for the soldiers. Shabbat, in particular, holds great importance, serving as a time for rest, reflection, and community. With the food and treats you make possible, we bring a little piece of home to them, honoring their dedication and sacrifice. These small comforts remind them that they are never alone on their journey.
Thank you for helping us show these courageous soldiers the love, respect, and support they deserve. Together, we’re not just providing food and supplies; we’re strengthening a community and standing beside those who protect and serve.
As Israel continues fighting to defend itself, these incredible lone soldiers will continue needing your support. Show them that you stand by them and with Israel, always.
