IDF Soldiers Shocked by Outpouring of Worldwide Support
Posted on 7/29/2014 by Eliyokim Cohen The LIBI Fund, like many other branches of the military, has had one of the busiest months in recent history. Unlike other units, the extra activity emanates from the outpouring of help provided by supporters of the IDF both in Israel and abroad. The 13 IDF personnel who run the unit, together with a volunteer organization, have been working around the clock to receive, scan, and ship gift packages donated from all over the world to the soldiers currently serving their country. “Hundreds of gift packages have come in over the past few weeks, if not thousands,” says one spokesperson from the unit. “We are having a hard time keeping up with all of them.” The unit’s main objective is to provide help and support for IDF soldiers in any capacity possible. The soldiers involved in the unit deal with the logistics of receiving the donations and attributing it wherever the IDF logistics branch instructs them to. The actual fundraising is done by non-profit organizations that are associated with the project under the name of the LIBI Fund. LIBI is the official fund of the IDF. Established in 1980 by Prime Minister Menachem Begin and the IDF Chief of Staff Rafael Eitan, the goal of LIBI is to provide for the educational, religious, medical and recreational needs of Israeli soldiers. link
