Dear Shomrei Community,
It is with gratitude that we share that we exceeded our ambitious fundraising goal of $36,000 to send a Medicycle to Israel, which enables first responders to arrive within minutes of an emergency. With the continued conflict in Israel, we know that efforts to support the IDF and first responders will be much needed and appreciated. We look forward to ‘sending off’ the Shomrei-branded Medicycle to Israel in the new year.
A heartfelt thank you to our donor who matched the first $18,000, in honor of the Zack Foundation.
Since the community’s generous donations exceeded the Medicycle requirement, the excess funds are being donated to Natal to provide much needed mental health treatment and support to victims of war and trauma.
May we always come together as a community to support those in need.
~Am Yisrael Chai~
