Operation Far From Home is a project established to communicate to our Jewish troops that they are not forgotten. While we cannot bring pots of chicken soup to them we can mail cans of soup along with other kosher foods, Judaic items, requested necessities, and some fun things all packed with love and caring. As they serve in conflicts, they connect us to the realities of a harsh and difficult time in history, and we serve to connect them to the Clal (community).
PLEASE GET INVOLVED WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT TO CONTINUE SUPPORTING OUR TROOPS
HOW CAN YOU HELP
OPERATION FAR FROM HOME SUPPORTS THOSE THAT SERVE TO PROTECT US. WE ARE NOT A POLITICAL PROJECT AND NEVER COMMENT ON THE POLITICS OF THE WARS IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN. THE PROJECT IS 4 YEARS OLD AND NEEDS YOUR INVOLVEMENT TO SUCCESSFULLY CONTINUE. WE ARE ONE PEOPLE UNITED SOULS AND WE NEED TO LET OUR JEWISH TROOPS KNOW THAT WE REMEMBER AND CARE ABOUT THEM AND THAT THEY ARE PART OF THE CLAL (JEWISH COMMUNITY)
