Looking for a practical way to serve communities in the Middle East right now?
For just $10, you can sponsor a shelter bag for a child in Israel.
As missile attacks continue across the country, families are spending long hours in shelters. While the physical danger is real, the emotional toll, especially for children, can be overwhelming. Many experience fear, panic attacks, and other stress responses as sirens sound and families rush to safety.
Through our team on the ground and with the local church, Acts of Mercy International is helping assemble and distribute shelter bags for children and families taking refuge during these attacks.
Each bag is filled with simple, trauma-informed supplies designed to help distract, regulate, and comfort children while they wait in shelters. Items may include snacks, water, sensory activities, small toys, playdough, art supplies, flashlights, first aid items, stuffed animals, and hygiene supplies.
Beyond meeting practical needs, our teams are also showing up with the love and compassion of Jesus — offering prayer, presence, and encouragement to families in the midst of crisis.
You can sponsor a bag through our Israel/Gaza Fund in our bio.
