Over 20,000 coats are on the way

It won't be long now

Twenty thousand new coats for boys and girls. 
Five thousand and fifty new coats for young women and mothers. 
All are on the way, soon to arrive at our Yesodot warehouse where they will be unpacked, sorted and distributed in numerous cities throughout Israel to needy families. 

American Friends of Yad Eliezer/B'ezri has been running our annual Winter Warmth campaign for well over 15 years, expanding it significantly from year to year due to rising demand and the profound impact it makes on families in need.
“There are no words to describe my wife’s happiness over the coat she received-happiness not only about the fact that she got a coat at all, but one that is of such good quality-the kind we never could have imagined she would own. There are simply not enough words!”

“Please pass on our thanks to your generous donors who think about others, about how to make their lives better in a respectable way, through such an organized coat distribution. Now our children are ready for the cold and rain in coats that are warm and beautiful, from the best companies. They can be proud as they walk down the street…” 

These are actual reactions we've received in the past. And we receive countless others just like them every year-expressions of genuine appreciation for the help we provide-support in the form of good, new winter coats. It's support that brings warmth to families who otherwise would have no way to purchase these items on their own. By providing a needy family with a new coat or two, they are then able to buy other necessities for their households without sacrificing comfort during the winter.

Our coats are made of the highest quality materials and are special-ordered at least six months in advance, which ensures they are manufactured for the best possible price and that they arrive in time for the cold weather. Forward thinking and smart planning (including utilizing volunteer help during our distributions) keep our costs low so we continually operate with an extremely low overhead. It's one of the reasons we're awarded a four star rating by Charity Navigator, distinguishing us as an extremely effective Israeli charity.

People are constantly asking, "How can I donate to Israel and make a difference?" Contributing to AFYE/B'ezri, for our Winter Warmth campaign or for any of our other 15+ programs, is the perfect answer.
