This past Saturday marked a major escalation in the region, as the United States and Israel launched coordinated strikes on key Iranian military targets in what has become a widening conflict with the Iranian regime. The operation targeted military leadership and strategic facilities tied to Iran’s missile and nuclear programs, triggering retaliatory attacks and heightened security across the Middle East.
For Israel’s soldiers, including the reservists and front-line units we support through Make A Difference Foundation, this moment means heightened alert, longer deployments, and continued uncertainty. Our mission remains the same: ensuring that the men and women defending Israel have the gear, support, and encouragement they need to carry out their mission safely.
Supplies matter. Funding matters.
But sometimes, presence matters most.
MADF volunteers continue to travel to Israel to deliver donations by hand, support soldiers and families, and strengthen communities through personal connection.
Why Presence Matters
Volunteers carry more than gear — they bring encouragement, gratitude, and human connection. A handshake, a conversation, a shared meal can lift morale in ways words alone cannot.

A Soldier Writes: “we are currently in a difficult operation. and because of the situation we cannot light Shabbat candles. Please have us the soldiers in mind when you light Shabbat candle.”
Looking Ahead
As we plan future trips this year, we invite those who feel called to join us. Every volunteer helps extend the reach of compassion and care.
Your support sustains this work.
