Adopt a Battalion Program
Support a Battalion and Form an Extraordinary Bond

Army service is grueling. Often times the brightest part of a soldier’s day is a special meal or a small social gathering with his/her comrades. The Adopt a Battalion Program provides commanders with discretionary funds to pay for various wellbeing and recreational events that they believe will boost the morale of their soldiers. These special events permit soldiers a small and much-needed respite from combat duty. Donors also form a special connection with their adopted battalion; they receive letters with photos describing events that they sponsored, and many donors visit their soldiers in Israel.
