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.

‘A Package From Home’s’ mission is to strengthen the spirit and resolve of each Israeli combat soldier. 'Package’ sends thousands of care packages to Combat Chayalim Bodedim(soldiers without family in Israel) and severely wounded soldiers who are receiving long term hospital care. Mitzvah Messengers, people traveling to Israel, interested in helping, are asked to bring a duffle bag which has been filled with the items listed above, as a ‘check-on’ piece of luggage. To date, VBS has brought well over 100 filled duffle bags with them.
 

Project M.O.T.

Since 2008 we have been sending care packages to our deployed troops and Jewish War Veteran.  Lately it seems the call for us to send packages has lessened and we are now mainly concentrating on our Jewish War Veterans in the Los Angeles area.
