I just read an email that referred to an organization called "
A Package From Home." Among the programs they offer is "
Adopt A Unit". Here is some general information from their
Mission page:
Our mission is to strengthen the spirit and resolve of each Israeli soldier, and to show our appreciation for the sacrifices they are making in securing our safety and the survival of the Jewish People. Our care packages are not only a warm reminder of the love and esteem we hold for our soldiers but also are items that they truly need.
We send thousands of packages to Combat Chayalim Bodedim (soldiers without family in Israel) and severely wounded soldiers who are receiving long term hospital care.
The basic packages - sent in the summer - are filled with a bath towel, socks, t-shirt, boxer shorts, wet wipes, special band aids for blisters, deodorant, travel size tooth paste and a tooth brush, assorted candy, chocolates, and snacks, and toiletries like shampoo, hand cream, lip balm etc.
Our winter packages include all of the above plus winter clothing: a fleece jacket, fleece blanket, ski hat, gloves, neck warmer, and a 2 piece long underwear set. Each package contains 4 letters of appreciation, Hebrew, English, Russian, Amharic, from children and adults from all over the world for their part in securing our country's safety.
Please go to our HONOR ROLL page to learn details for writing letters to the soldiers.
