Friends-in-Deeds

In March 2020, AIFL launched a new campaign to provide deeds to our friends and bring joy to people’s lives in response to the COVID-19 crisis. Since most of the world is staying at home we have come up with unique ways to bring Israel to everyone's homes through virtual activities and donations.

Virtual Activities

Each week, AIFL is encouraging our friends to share photos and videos of their Israeli-inspired meals that our world class chefs have designed for people to cook at home and bring Israeli flavor to their kitchens. AIFL will also host virtual events that will bring our friends together through health and wellness classes, entertainment, and art projects to provide deeds to our friends and give them a break during the day.

Weekly Donations

Each week our friends can submit their local charity, food bank, or organization to receive a $500 donation of Israeli food, treats, and beverages on behalf of AIFL. Our goal is to provide a deed to local communities to lift people's spirits during this crisis.
