The following is a special message from CEO of Israel Relief Aid, Jo Kaplan:
Dear Lovers of Israel,
Thank you so much for your gifts of participation in Israel Relief Aid. This has enabled us to bring in eight shipping containers from Europe in recent months. Some of these containers have been high value, $100,000 value at least.

The latest container was exciting as it went to four aid
stations that were all low in stock: 3 in Haifa and 1 in Nazareth. I met the
truck in each of these locations as volunteers from these centers unloaded
their portion. They received 100-250
cartons each! It is helping 200-500 at
each station, a total of 800-2000 people reached with this one container.
Usually new immigrants have the immediate need, however, one
of these centers is a downtown storefront where even walkers-by can choose
clothing, and the inside looks like any other nice shop, except that the
clothing is free. Sometimes aid centers
distribute to institutions around them, and the families of the disabled will
come, or the unemployed, and of course, the homeless. There are so many that depend on these
stations.
Two more containers are being planned which will go to many
places all over the country – including one focusing on new mothers and babies
and pro-life. These containers will come
from Europe and remain permanently in Israel to serve as mini-warehouses that will require little or no rent. And of course, no other costs like property
taxes, insurance, security systems, forklifts, truck purchases, etc. That’s why our costs are always 25% of others
that bring in containers to Israel.
We want to thank our USA affiliate, Blessing Israel Together, for its tremendous work for the kingdom of God – sharing the Truth about what is really happening in Israel versus what so many of the false articles say is happening. You all know we are dealing with terrorism here. The latest is that we are in trouble from the north with Hezbollah and the south with ISIS.
ISIS has announced that it is going to start
attacking Israel. Israel just recently moved its main IDF base to the
south. If we have to go to a military
confrontation, you know what that will do to the defense budget and all the
other government budgets. Money that they
might have had for the poor is not non-existent. That is why this aid means so much at this
time.
May the Lord bless
each of you for your love for Israel -- the Land and its people.
