We are looking. . .

David Dreiling, Israel Relief Fund

We are looking for the Poor. We are looking for widows, orphans, all kinds of children at risk. We are looking for the aged with no one to care for them. We are looking for the prisoners families. We are looking for the drug and alcohol abusers. They are not hard to find really.

What is hard to find is those organizations that best use the funds you donate to make a difference. That care for the dignity and the humanity of the recipients. What is hard to find is the clear evidence dollar for dollar that your donation make a visible impact on the target.

Each of the projects that you see on this website has been personally inspected by our team. I myself have met the people involved in every one and can say that they are good honest people with a true heart for the poor. These are good human beings who do not live extravagant lifestyles. Quite the opposite, most are poor and some very poor themselves.

IRF’s pledge to you is that we will use your money to do the most good. You can specify a project for your donation…You can go to their website in many cases and give there. We do not take funds off the top but act as a pass-through to many of these organizations that can’t give you a tax deductable receipt.

Our partners in Israel are of impeccable character. Our overhead both here in America and overseas is minimal.

The needs are urgent the time is now. I urge you to give out of your abundance or even perhaps out of your poverty

Children living in poverty











According to a 2009 study, one-third of Israeli children, some 777,400 in number, live in poverty-stricken families, according to statistics from a study by the National Insurance Institute (NII).

The study finds that of the 2.1 million households in Israel, 418,000 families live below the poverty line. One-fourth of all families with children (238,000) are classified as poor families. In addition, 39,000 single-parent families are listed as poor while 44 percent of all families received a stipend from the NII.
