Below is a glimpse into the work we are doing with our brave IDF soldiers/reserves and their families. It is an honor to take part in their heroic efforts to defend Israel! JAR thanks you for making this all possible and we value the opportunity to support our IDF soldiers during this difficult time.

Faced with the increasing challenges of poverty and the sacrifices endured by our courageous IDF soldiers, reserves, and their families,

the need for action is more pressing now than ever!

Far too many soldiers have given their lives, while many others fight for survival in hospital beds as their families struggle to remain strong through this painful time!

The dire hunger situation in Israel was in a critical state prior to the war. At this point, under the current struggles things have become increasingly challenging! A recent National Insurance Institute report underscores a harsh reality – over 2 million people in Israel live below the poverty line, leaving more than a million children hungry! In response to these hardships, JAR is on an unwavering mission to ensure food security for our IDF soldiers and their families!

I was recently in Israel, and had the honor of distributing Food Cards to IDF soldiers and their families. JAR’s mission is just that; extending a helping hand to families in need! I encourage you to join us in sending Food Cards today, empowering us to collectively make a difference and sustain thousands of lives! Together, we can support the families of those soldiers who sacrifice daily for our brethren in Israel – a small gesture on our part, but one that can resonate wholeheartedly and successfully.

During times of war, immediate access to food aid is crucial. The Food Card emerges as a vital solution, ensuring essential nourishment reaches those who need it most. This initiative transcends mere sustenance; it's about restoring hope, faith, and unity among affected families, including orphans, the elderly, needy families, wounded soldiers, and IDF families.

Let us unite in giving and praying for the safe return and recovery of our soldiers and the protection of our beloved Israel!

Together, we can stand as a symbol of unity, kindness, and unwavering support for our dedicated IDF soldiers and their families.

While we may not alter the situation, we CAN make a difference in their lives by donating Food Cards today!

With hope and gratitude!

Below is a glimpse of our work with our dear soldiers, their families, and those that need support and happiness during this difficult time in Israel!.

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 $675, 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.
