Thanks so much for being willing to help the IDF soldiers. We are working on a few projects so there are a few options depending on your interest and budget.

A) Boots – This is most important. Certain units that we are working with need a specific expensive type of mountain boot that costs about 1000 NIS each. The army doesn’t cover these but they are necessary because of all the foot and back problems standard army boots cause. We are currently raising money to purchase these boots within the next couple of weeks if we could get it together. This is really important so if you know anyone who could help that would be awesome.
B) Individual Care Packages – If you are interested, able and willing to send a care package to one or a few chayalim with things that could range from candy, letters, to thermal socks and things for entertainment that would be a huge help. Apparently this is the stuff they remember and really makes their days more pleasant.
C) Unit Care Packages – If you are able and or willing it would be amazing if you could pick a specific item and donate one for each person in the unit. Things they need are thermal socks, headlights for their helmets, matching t-shirts, bathrobes, and candy of course. Each unit has about 25-30 soldiers in it.
D) Organize Events – in your community, amongst your friends and family, or with me to spread the word, raise money, and rally support for the IDF Soldiers

If you are able to help with any of the above it would mean a lot to the soldiers. Please email me directly at kalfaorap@yahoo.ca. Thank you!
