Groups are starting to collect goods and supplies for both people stuck in bomb shelters in the south, and reserve soldiers stuck at the border of Gaza, waiting for the next move.
You can see the original Facebook event post here, and below.
Personally, I’m trying to collect in Tzur Hadassah (if you’re local and interested). There are several main points of collection across the country including parts of Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and individuals collecting in their own areas.
If you’re not in Israel, you can still help.
Hebrew following the English:
HELP US DELIVER A TRUCK FULL OF SUPPLIES FOR CIVILIANS AND SOLDIERS NEAR GAZA BY THIS THURSDAY.

WHAT WE’RE DOING & HOW YOU CAN HELPAs I’m sure you’ve all felt in your own personal ways, these past 5 days have been pretty intense. Many of us have had loved ones go off to the army, and feeling helpless is the worst! With Natan (my husband) being an officer in the IDF, the truth is that I have no idea when I’ll see him again. However, I decided that praying for the best is not all that I can do… I have contacted everyone I know and I am asking you to do the same, so that we can gather as many supplies as possible, to bring to families as well as soldiers in the south.
I will be teaming up with the Lower Galilee Regional Council and heading to the south this coming Thursday to distribute what we’ve collected.
For families, I’m asking if each of you can bring something that you would want if you were stuck in a shelter for weeks. I recommend blankets, sleeping bags, pillows, small mattresses, kids’ toys and books, coffee, kumkumim, etc. Baked goods are also wonderful and always appreciated. For soldiers, socks and underwear are the most appreciated, as well as dry-fit clothing, gum, cigarettes, etc.
If you would like to donate, we will have several dropping spots around the country, including the the Lower Galilee Regional Council Office (in the North), North Tel Aviv, Central Tel Aviv Jerusalem (Rehavia), Hertzeliya, and Aminadav. Addresses are below. Please contact me and let me know if you’d like to donate! We really appreciate your help, and so will everyone in the south! These people need us and this is really where the heart of Israel shines… Thank you in advance!

כמו שאני בטוחה שכולכם הרגשת כל אחד בדרכו שלו חמשת הימים האחרונים היו די מתוחים. רבים מאיתנו מכירים אנשים שיצאו למילואים ואנחנו מרגישים בעיקר חסרי אונים החלטתי שלהתפלל שהכל יעבור במהרה ובשלום זה לא כל מה שאני יכולה לעשות. יצרתי קשר עם כל מי שאני מכירה ואני מבקשת שאתם תעשו אותו הדבר וככה נוכל לאסוף כמה שיותר אספקה וציוד לתת למשפחות בדרום הארץ
אני אסע לדרום באמצע השבוע (יחד עם כל מי שירצה ויוכל להצטרף( ואחלק את מה שנאסוף אני מבקשת אם כל אחד יוכל להביא משהו שאתם הייתם רוצים שיהיה לכם אם אתם הייתם תקועים במקלט זה יכול להיות שמיכות שקי שינה כריות מזרונים קטנים צעצועים לילדים קפה קומקומים וכו’ מאפים ועוגות הם גם דרך נפלאה לתמוך באחינו בדרום.
יהיו לנו מספר נקודות איסוף ברחבי הארץ – בצפון בתל אביב, רחביה, תלפיות ועמינדב.
בבקשה צרו איתי קשר ותגידו לי אם תרצו לתרום. אני מאוד מעריכה את העזרה וכך גם תושבי הדרום! האחים שלנו צריכים אותנו זה הזמן של עם ישראל להראות את הטוב שבו
תודה רבה לכולם!!
