The Fellowship Launches Two Programs to Support Wounded IDF Soldiers

Stand for Israel  |  July 25, 2024

The Fellowship announced two new programs to help wounded IDF soldiers who have been injured on the battlefields with Hamas.

The first project will support wounded veterans with food, clothing, and other necessary basic needs. The second project will be to distribute support kits to soldiers during hospitalization. JNS tells us more:

“This war has exacted an extremely heavy cost on our younger generation with many thousands of soldiers, who dropped everything to fight on behalf of all of us, experiencing life-changing injuries,” said Yael Eckstein, president of the IFCJ.

“Beyond the current physical toll of these injuries, many of these wounded veterans will face lifestyle challenges that will make their rehabilitation and financial independence that much more difficult.  Our commitment, and the commitment of the hundreds of thousands of IFCJ donors around the world, is to ensure that we are addressing those needs and offering them the practical support they deserve in light of the incredible sacrifices they have made,” she added.

The programs are being implemented in partnership with the Friends of the IDF Disabled Veterans Organization.
