HOUSE ISRAELI FAMILIES
A volunteer group in New York City is helping with a variety of initiatives like packing/sending duffels of critical supplies with reservists returning to Israel, donating toys, getting people on flights and more. More recently, there have been a few specific requests from Israelis who are hoping to leave Israel that need a place to stay. Just now, we heard from a family (2 adults, 2 kids) asking if anyone had space in their homes in the NYC/Westchester area.
If you are interested in opening your home -- or know of someone who wants to -- please reach out to Fawn Mendel
