Since the beginning of Operation Protective Edge , we drove supplies down to our troops, visited hospitalized soldiers, and made sure our IDF troops know that there are Jews all over the world that are standing by their side. Because of the exclusive connections we have forged with company commanders over the past eight years, we have been able to accomplish amazing things. They know us, they trust us, and they call on us to fill specific needs – whether it's food, toiletries, water backpacks, kneepads, leatherman tools, head flashlights, clothing, recreation equipment, and religious items.We met soldiers as they came out of Gaza, and we "debriefed" them on the needs and what we can do to make them more comfortable. We were in the field every day of this terrible conflict to assess needs and bring exactly whatever supplies each unit so desperately needs – despite the constant Code Red alerts reminding us of the danger from overhead.
We gave out:
* Thousands of underwear, socks, undershirts, hats, and dryfit shirts
* Thousands of items including soaps, shampoos, towels, wipes, haircutting equipment,toothbrushes,toothpastes, powders and other hygienic necessities.
*3000 water backpacks to over 15 different units
*200 coffee kits
* 3000 thermoses which were filled up with ice and over 1000 travel pillows for the tank units
And more…
