Live From Israel: Volunteers Deliver Hope, Meals, and Gear

Serving Israeli soldiers on and off the battlefield.

Hello!

North & South: Serving Soldiers Where They Need Us Most

Right now, our co-founder Aaron Shuster and Sel, his wife, are on the ground in Israel, preparing for a special mission that will bring warmth, nourishment, and encouragement to IDF soldiers on the front lines.

Aaron’s goal: to serve TWO hot meals to frontline IDF soldiers over the next ten days.

Location 1: Southern border, just outside Gaza
Location 2: Northern border, near Syria and Lebanon

These are active combat zones where troops get only short rest periods. Many have been eating canned rations for months while defending Israel’s borders.

Our Mission: Provide home-cooked meals and essential gear to 140+ soldiers at each location.
Our Goal: Raise $7,000 total to fund both events.
Our Ask: Every $18 recurring gift helps us get closer.

In addition to the meals, our volunteers will be personally distributing critical supplies including protective goggles, gloves, hydration gear, flashlights, and more—right into the hands of the soldiers who need them most.
