Blessing Israel Together

Israeli winters are filled with volatile fluctuations in temperature. One day requires a parka, and the next day one can dress in a long-sleeve T-shirt, followed by the need for a raincoat the day after. Heavy clothing is essential. The north, including the Galilee, has considerably the most rain. Mountainous areas like Jerusalem also experience more severe weather. Israel Relief Aid’s Winter Warm Campaign is dependent on importing aid containers full of clothing, which is sorted by season by aid centers all over Israel. The winter coats and heavy clothing are distributed from September 1 already in the north, through the end of March – seven months each year! Cartons of jackets are always received with appreciation from the aid containers. Thanks to you, each container is able be shipped and cleared through the Israeli port, with shipping costs and clearing costs paid. Our donors make a huge impact on the ground in the Holy Land, blessing tens of thousands of Israelis every winter...

An incredible aid container of shoes and clothing came in recently for the near-30% of Israelis in poverty. The shoes in this container were high quality and too expensive for Israelis in need to buy. Yet, they are the exact type of shoes that are needed in various conditions and weather here in this country. These shoes and clothing went out to the whole country– from near the border with Lebanon, down to Beer Sheva in the Negev. This was such an important gift for the nation of Israel, which is trying to heal after the stress of having to defend ourselves. This gift tells them that there are those that do care. Thank you again for this huge blessing!

Israel Relief Aid’s extensive aid center network throughout Israel gives out clothing and other goods to the needy—those living under the poverty line that don’t have funds for growing children and other sectors like the unemployed, Holocaust Survivors, single-parent families, new immigrants who arrived with very little, etc.

Hunger and homelessness often go hand in hand, and homeless individuals deserve meals just like everyone else. In Israel, thousands of people are homeless. READ MORE
