2026 Begins: Our Commitment to Israel’s Soldiers & Families

Serving Israeli soldiers on and off the battlefield.

Hello!

As we step into 2026, we do so with resolve, clarity, and gratitude.
The calendar may have turned, but the mission of the Make A Difference Foundation remains unchanged: to stand with Israel’s soldiers, their families, and their communities — wherever the need is greatest.

The challenges continue, and so does our commitment.

Our Core Areas of Focus in 2026

1. Rehabilitation & PTSD Support

For many soldiers, the hardest battles begin after they leave the field.

We will continue providing rehabilitation assistance and emotional support for warriors dealing with PTSD and long-term trauma, helping them and their families navigate the road to healing with dignity and care.

2. Supplemental Gear & Equipment for the Front Lines

Winter remains unforgiving across Israel — from the snowy North to the cold southern borders. Your support allows us to provide essential gear, including:

  • Winter coveralls

  • Long underwear

  • Warm hats and gloves

  • Protective goggles

  • Hygiene supplies for female front-line soldiers

These items are not comforts — they are necessities that protect health, focus, and morale.

3. Letters of Support for Families of Injured Soldiers

Behind every wounded warrior is a family carrying quiet pain.

We continue sending letters of encouragement and support to families of injured soldiers — reminding them they are not alone and that a global community stands beside them.

4. Warm Meals on Cold Nights

Through harsh winter nights, MADF supports the delivery of hot, nourishing meals to soldiers on duty — especially in the North and along cold southern borders.

A warm meal is more than food; it is strength, comfort, and care.

5. Special Requests & Urgent Campaigns

As needs arise, we respond.

In 2025, that meant special campaigns for drones, and even a bicycle for an IDF officer so he could carry out his duties more effectively.

In 2026, we will continue answering these calls — quickly and directly.

On the Ground Right Now — and Looking Ahead

MADF volunteers are in Israel at this very moment, distributing donations and personally supporting soldiers, their families, and local communities.

As we plan future trips in 2026, we invite those who feel called to serve to join us.
Whether carrying supplies, delivering meals, or offering presence and care — volunteers make a real difference.

If you are interested in volunteering on a future MADF trip, please reach out.
