Ashkelon has been the most targeted city in Israel
Despite the rocket bombardments, many dedicated English speakers chose to stay in Ashkelon during the war and help with the war effort. In this time of war, our volunteers are working long hours to assist with two important projects. They need your help to continue their work.
Food and Drinks for Soldiers and First Responders
At Ashkelon’s Barzilai Hospital, a major Israeli trauma hospital just nine miles from Gaza, our volunteers staff food tables outside of the busy emergency department. They provide sandwiches, pastries, snacks and drinks to hundreds of soldiers, first responders, ambulance drivers, army medics, security personnel, and police. Anyone who arrives with the injured to the hospital’s emergency department can grab a bite to eat and a warm drink. The fighting does not stop and the food is provided 24/7 for those that need it.
When soldiers and first responders come into the emergency department, they only have a few minutes to grab something to eat before they have to get on the road or return to Gaza or Otef Aza. Our volunteers are there to ensure that they have a boost of a sandwich and a drink, so they can carry on their important work.
Please assist us to help the very people who are saving our soldiers.
Meals for Combat Soldiers in Gaza
Recently, we were approached by a group of combat soldiers who go in and out of Gaza every day. They work with the tanks and risk their lives on a daily basis. The soldiers are provided Manot Krav (MREs), but anyone who has tried to live on these rations knows that after a few days they are barely palatable. Their commander asked for some help in preparing real food for their troops.
Our volunteers have been preparing schnitzel sandwiches once a week for 80 soldiers. The soldiers would like our volunteers to provide them with real food two or even three times a week. We are prepared to provide the meals more often, but need your support. The chicken is purchased from a wholesaler and a hotel has provided their kitchen to prepare the food without charge. A team of volunteers, led by a former American chef, assembles the sandwiches and they are immediately taken to the soldiers.
Please help feed these guys who risk their lives daily for our country.
