The IDF Purim Project is an initiative of Chayal el Chayal to unite children, teens and adults from around the world by sending Mishloach Manot (traditional Purim gift baskets) to soldiers on base across Israel.
You can put a smile on the faces of hundreds of IDF soldiers.
Make a difference.
Chaim is an IDF Infantry soldier stationed in Jenin expecting to be spending Purim protecting our Land and our People instead of celebrating this joyous festival with his family. Unfortunately, Chaim’s story is very common this time of year. There are thousands of soldiers who will be on base this Purim. Mishloach Manot are an amazing way to bring a bit of Purim and the festive spirit to them. Something to enjoy while guarding the front lines. Be a partner in helping the soldiers by sponsoring Mishloach Manot for an IDF: Company, Platoon, Team, Squad or a Soldier.
