Volunteer Stories, Urgent Needs, and a Path Toward Peace

Serving Israeli soldiers on and off the battlefield.

Hello!

One of the most inspiring parts of the Make A Difference Foundation mission is the way ordinary people step forward to do extraordinary things. Recently, three generous volunteers carried protective goggles from Arizona to Israel—hand-delivering them directly to frontline IDF soldiers.

This matters more than many realize: nearly 10% of battlefield injuries involve damage to the eyes. By equipping soldiers with high-quality goggles, we are not just protecting vision—we are protecting their ability to continue fighting, surviving, and returning home.

👉 If you are traveling from Arizona to Israel and have even a little extra room in your bags, please contact us. Every delivery makes an enormous difference.

Why Volunteer Trips Matter

Volunteer trips bridge the gap between donor generosity and frontline impact. When supporters travel with supplies, soldiers see firsthand that they are not alone—that communities across the ocean are standing shoulder to shoulder with them.

These moments of personal connection are priceless, and they remind us that every one of us has a role to play.

A Path Toward Peace?

This week, Israel struck Hamas leadership abroad in a targeted operation. Reports confirm that senior figures were in the crosshairs. While Hamas denies casualties, the move has increased pressure—and, remarkably, it may open a new window for a peace deal.

The road ahead is uncertain, but one thing remains constant: Israel’s brave soldiers continue to defend their people and homeland. Our mission is to stand with them, supplying the gear, meals, and emotional support they need as events shift daily
