Federation Partner Wings Helps Uplift IDF Lone Soldiers

Your donations to the Annual Campaign enable Federation to support Wings, a program that cares for IDF lone soldiers, an effort that has become even more critical as the war reaches its one-year mark and extends into northern Israel. There are approximately 3,600 young adults who have made aliyah and are now serving in the IDF without any family in Israel. Wings’ counseling and guidance assists these soldiers from their draft preparation through their active service and, upon their release from the IDF, facilitates their integration into Israeli society. The prolonged war has intensified the challenges faced by lone soldiers and has placed many in direct physical danger. In response, Wings has extended its services to offer counseling sessions through Zoom and WhatsApp to those on the front lines. Federation has also given additional funding through our most recent IEF allocations. In addition to psychological care, the program offers financial aid, housing assistance and keeps alumni connected through group activities.
