PEOPLE

The heroes of Israel need you. We are at war on multiple fronts.
This is a historic moment, and it requires historic action.

In the wake of the horrific massacre on October 7th and the barbaric attacks of Hamas, Jews and Israelis worldwide have witnessed an unfolding nightmare. Israel is at war on multiple fronts and has called up 360,000 Israeli reservists to defend their homeland. The logistical complexity is unprecedented, and the need for a strong community response is critical. Without an efficient and experienced operation, there are material risks, such as equipment stalled in transit or worse, lacking necessary certifications for military use.

Due to the unprecedented enlistment, there is an immediate need for protective and tactical gear; including Ceramic Vests, Tactical Helmets, and other equipment that can not be sourced by the public.

In addition, as a result of these trying times countless civilians and families have lost their homes and shelters. We are helping provide shelter, food, and essential supplies to those in dire need, offering them hope, comfort, and a chance to rebuild their lives. Together, we can make a profound difference in the lives of these resilient individuals, helping them find a glimmer of hope amidst the devastation.
