Standing Together launches new project encouraging people worldwide to knit scarves to send to IDF troops this winter
Standing Together has launched a new project encouraging people all over the world to knit scarves to send to Israel Defense Forces soldiers. Those wishing to participate should send an email to [email protected].
The program is being chaired by two volunteer immigrants from the United States and Canada, dedicated to doing their part for Israel's soldiers. Barbara Steinberg and Linda Kaufman are looking forward to receiving the emails and hoping to get hundreds of scarves to distribute to the soldiers this winter.
Knitters all over the world can add their personal support for Israel's troops by knitting black, navy or dark khaki scarves for the young men and women protecting the Jewish state this winter.
If you are not a knitter you can still help. Standing Together is also looking for volunteers to bring the scarves to Israel. If you are planning to travel to Israel this winter and can bring some of these hand-knitted scarves, please send an email with your travel dates and address so the organization can make arrangements to get the scarves.
Monetary donations will help finance the warm treats that Standing Together volunteers will bring to accompany the scarves.
Standing Together is an organization designed to help people all over the world show their appreciation for the people protecting Israel. Standing Together volunteers bring pizza, hot coffee, cold drinks and other treats to Israeli soldiers on duty. When the soldiers are the only ones working while the nation celebrates holidays, Standing Together brings the celebration to them. New Year greetings, Donuts for Hanukkah, Purim Packages, Passover chocolates, Barbecues for Independence Day and more.
