We need your help for our crucial matching opportunity!
HOLIDAY PROGRAM FOR IDF SOLDIERS - PESACH 2022
Every year American Friends of Yad Eliezer partners with a N.Y. based foundation in an extraordinary matching program, transforming the holidays from a time of anxiety to a time of celebration for
impoverished IDF soldiers-
of which there are thousands.
Pesach is quickly approaching, so our program is in full swing! We are once again working as urgently as possible to help 3,000 of these soldiers including those from disadvantaged homes, married soldiers who can't make ends meet for their families, lone soldiers who have no family in the picture at all, and others. We are driven to provide them with support:
critical aid that will enable them to purchase food for Pesach with dignity, so they can truly experience the festivity of the holiday.
In order to do so, we must raise $250,000 by April 7th. Our partner will match that amount to $500,000, which will be distributed to struggling soldiers throughout Israel in the form of supermarket gift cards. Half a million dollars will bring invaluable relief to soldiers who would otherwise be unable to shop for Pesach foods including matza, chicken, wine, produce and other essentials for their tables.
Our efforts will ensure that they can.
The recent jump in food prices, accrued debt from months of pandemic unemployment and myriad other factors have worsened the situation
in IDF homes that were already living in great need. Thankfully we are here to help through this program, which makes such an impact that hopeful - yet urgent - requests from soldiers began coming in, weeks ago.
Please join us! Together we can bring relief,
a sense of freedom & a feeling of normalcy to 3,000 soldiers.
Take a look at the power of your tzedaka:
“I must touch base with you about the vouchers you gave us-me, my wife and children. I just wanted to tell you that-really-all the purchases we will be making for Pesach this year, will be made with these coupons. They are truly helping us. My wife had just asked me, "How will we be able to go shopping, how will we be able to afford food for the chag? We can't go further into debt..." Thank G-d I am proud to have the privilege of being an IDF soldier...your help is like a miracle from Above. Thank you very, very much. I really have no words." -Uriel K., IDF soldier
