HOW
TO HELP
While we purchase the boots at cost and 100% of the work is done by volunteers, we still need funds to buy and ship the boots to Israel. On average, each pair of boots costs $90 all in (including shipping).
Find out how you can donate or volunteer below.

DONATE.
100% of proceeds go directly to the purchase and shipment of boots.
US tax-deductible donations can be made through our registered charity - 501(c3).

BRING BOOTS.
Flying on ELAL from JFK to Israel?
You can help Israeli reserve soldiers —
No shlepping required!
The day after Oct. 7, we founded Boots for Israel to rush tactical boots to IDF reserve soldiers. Since then, we’ve delivered over 70,000 pairs — all donated and flown by volunteers. And the need is still real!
Now we need help getting more boots to Israel. If you’re flying nonstop from JFK on ELAL only (not Newark, no connecting flights), you can check in a duffel bag of boots:
-
Any day of the week, any upcoming flight — we’ll coordinate with your travel dates.
-
No handling needed — we bring the bags to you at JFK and pick them up at Ben Gurion.
-
No customs stop — Israeli officials are fully informed.
-
No cost to you and does not impact your baggage allowance — we cover baggage fees (although you’re welcome to donate the fees if that’s something you’d like to do - $50/bag)
-
All ages welcome — perfect for students, seniors, families, missions, or anyone traveling to Israel.
The only thing we need is your name to associate with the bag.
It’s a small favor with huge impact.
