    50 Doses of Good

    We’re at our 50th episode of Good People Talk! Marking this milestone moment, we’ve handed the microphone over to special guest host — Jodi Rudoren, Editor-in-Chief of the Forward and former Jerusalem Bureau Chief of The New York Times — as she discovers The Good People Fund’s secret sauce for building and sustaining a community of Good People creating positive change in a challenged and conflicted world. Jodi sits with GPF Co-Founder and Executive Director Naomi Eisenberger, and GPF Director of Engagement Julie Fisher.

    Stocking the Shelves!

    With end-of-season sales in full swing, we love nothing better than going on a shopping spree for some of our grantees who are overwhelmed by requests for all kinds of clothing for kids, for babies, for women and men who just don’t have the means to clothe themselves or their family properly. Imagine! $10.00 winter coats!

    Ayin Tova

    Ayin Tova provides yarn, knitting needles, friendship and community to evacuees who were relocated following October 7th to hotels around the country. Volunteers bring senior evacuees care and comfort during difficult times. A donation from Good People Fund helped purchase yarn so these circles of caring may continue to work their magic.

    Tzomet Amiad Soldier Refreshment Stand

    The food station for soldiers run by residents of Amiad and surrounding kibbutzim, moshavim, and villages is at a major intersection with continuous traffic of soldiers between bases, the border areas, and home. With GPF support, volunteers make fresh sandwiches, soups, and drinks daily and have been doing so since the first week of the war.

    Home-cooked Shabbat Meals for Soldiers

    It’s been a privilege for us to help provide home-cooked meals for  Israel’s hard-working soldiers on the northern border. Amidst the frequent shelling,  Shelley Liss Barkan and a corps of volunteers from around Shlomi have been preparing delicious meals for Shabbat every week since the
    war began.

    Working with Soldiers Suffering from PTSD

    Ruca’s Farm, one of our Israeli grantees, is preparing to welcome its first cohort of IDF soldiers with PTSD for healing of mind and body on their organic agricultural farm. In addition, we are working with Dr. Anita Shkedi — a noted expert and practitioner of equine therapy to treat PTSD, and founder of former GPF grantee INTRA (Israel National Therapeutic Riding Association) — to begin working with IDF soldiers and survivors of the Nova rave so impacted by the current war.
