Monthly support for the families keeping life going at home.
When a reservist gets the call, the weight lands on the people at home. The wife running the house alone. The kid who keeps asking when Abba is coming back. The Chai Club is how you stand with them every month, steadily, without them ever having to ask.
Join at $36 a MonthStart at double chai
Chai is the Hebrew word for life, and its number is 18. The Chai Club begins at double chai, 36 dollars a month. A small standing promise to families carrying a very heavy year.
A warm meal arrives at the door of a family running on empty. Every month, on repeat.
A month of meals, plus a child's birthday remembered with a carnival and a platter at the door.
Sustained support for a family of the fallen and for the kids who lost the most. The deepest standing commitment.
Why we built this around chai
I served as a logistics officer with Alog 99, the unit behind the 99th Battalion. I learned the war one supply run at a time.
The families carry the absence every morning. The empty chair does not take weekends off.
Steady beats sudden. A gift these families can count on every month does more than a burst of attention that fades by the second week.
Chai is the number for life. Joining at double chai is a quiet way of saying I am with you for the long haul.
Every month, all of it to families
A double chai membership adds up to 432 dollars a year, and every cent reaches a family. We run on a zero overhead model, so nothing is taken from your gift for salaries or admin.
Choose your level
Pick any amount in a chai multiple. Change it or stop it whenever you need to.
A girl once opened her front door sure it was her father home from miluim. It was our volunteers with a candy platter. She kept smiling anyway. That door, and that smile, is what your monthly gift protects.
