Empowering our nation’s heroes

Friends in Jaffa is a grassroots organization sparked by the atrocities of Oct. 7 2023. We were desperate to help in anyway we could, so we banded together….

What started as a single supply run to get our friend and his unit the most basic supplies, quickly developed into a 24/7 operation to source, buy and transport (ever-increasingly complex) supplies to soldiers all over Israel. Since the start of the war, we have been operating 100% voluntarily and we continue to do so, working day and night to ensure our soldiers have what they need. All the money we raise goes directly to the soldiers. Not a penny less.

Through direct and thorough communication with the soldiers we begin the “mission” with a supply request. We then proceed to source the supplies in anyway we can, whether through other organizations like us (sometimes even for free), but more often then not we buy the supplies ourselves; speed and inventory accuracy are of utmost importance here. Once the supplies are purchased, we personally drive our cars and deliver the supplies to the soldier or unit making the request.

We have raised over $120,000 to date. Some examples of inventory we have sourced till now:

• 500+ High Quality Rain Suits
• 575+ Leathermans multitools
• 900+ Tourniquets
• 500+ Thermal Shirts ,Thermal Beanies, Neck Warmers, Thermal pants
• 300+ Thermal Gloves
• 50+ Field beds and mattresses
• Tents, Sleeping bags, Camping Stoves, Rain Covers

Due to the personalized nature of the requests the list would be too long to list everything.
