The purpose of Sar-El is to enable supporters from around the world, and at home, to contribute to the security of the State of Israel by assisting on IDF bases in a logistical support role. By volunteering, participants not only help with essential tasks but also gain a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by Israel and its defense forces.
Sar-El Israel is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing humanitarian aid and support to communities affected by the Israel-Hamas conflict. Our mission is to promote peace, understanding, and cooperation through volunteer efforts and community engagement. We strive to foster a spirit of solidarity and mutual aid among people from diverse backgrounds, united by a common goal of supporting Israel.
Sar-El's vision extends beyond immediate logistical support. We aim to build a global network of informed and engaged individuals who advocate for Israel's security and contribute to its societal resilience. By promoting volunteerism, we hope to inspire future generations to uphold the values of service, dedication, and international cooperation.
