Click to watch a short video of grateful IDF commanders giving thanks as they receive Passover Food Cards to distribute to their soldiers' families

Please watch this heartwarming video where just two weeks shy of Passover, a group of Jewish men and women from the Beverly Hills community of California, visited the rehabilitation center at Tel HaShomer to meet with our IDF wounded soldiers and distributed Food Card to help our wounded soldiers and their families for the Passover holiday.

Our IDF Soldiers

Spring in Israel feels different this year. While flowers bloom and skies shine, many Israeli children are still living in fear—18 months of sirens, shelters, and uncertainty!

Many of their parents are our heroes—IDF soldiers/reserves who’ve sacrificed more than just their actual life for Israel but also many holidays, birthdays, and daily moments to ensure Israel's safety. Their spouses are carrying the burden alone—raising children, managing homes, and financially struggling to obtain food on a one parent income.

Many of our soldiers/reserves remain currently on the front lines, and far too many are wounded soldiers fighting to heal on hospital beds,

They all share one heartfelt request:

"Please take care of our families.”

Your Food Card donation ensures IDF families have food on the table with convenience and dignity; and it also sends a very strong message: That they are appreciated and loved and never alone!

Let’s make sure no IDF family is left behind this spring!

Give with full hearts—and open hands!

With love and gratitude,

I wish to help my brethren in Israel with pre-paid Food Cards for:

IDF soldiers,

Active IDF reserves,

IDF families

Injured IDF soldiers

Attached is a video showcasing IDF reservists on the northern border with Syria, lighting up with joy as they receive Food Cards for their families. The video illustrates how a small gesture can really make a big impact for our soldiers!

This is just one base’s reaction, but I’ve visited many during the war, and their gratitude and resilience are truly inspiring. Am Yisroel Chai!

Below is a glimpse into the work we are doing with our brave IDF soldiers/reserves and their families. we value the opportunity to support our IDF soldiers during this difficult time.

Each month throughout the year, the Jewish Assistance & Relief Network (JAR) provides close to 2,000 Food Cards for needy families in Israel with a minimum value of $135 to as much as $1,100, and during the holidays, the numbers go up to 15,000 families with assistance of at least $135 to help with the added holiday expenses.

Highlights of the Food Card Program:

Our Administrative budget in Israel is covered by the rebates we receive from the national retailers so that 100% of your donation goes directly to feed needy families. There are NO warehouse and logistical fees spent to cover distribution costs.

Food Cards are pre programmed so that families can only purchase basic food and household products, and exclude any purchase of cigarettes, alcohol, clothing, cosmetics, ETC.

Cards are issued throughout the year, as well as during a war or at Holidays.
