Soldier Support Center

In October 2023, BSI established a Soldier Operational Support and Civilian Logistics Center in the north to provide essential aid and support to IDF forces across Israel. Initially set up as a northern counterpart to the southern logistics hub, it has since evolved into a national logistics center and plays a crucial role in ensuring the well-being and effectiveness of soldiers nationwide.

Operated by about 170 dedicated volunteers, the Center focuses on improving conditions for soldiers offering both physical and emotional support. It includes a variety of workshops such as carpentry which builds furniture for the field, metalworking to build heating stoves, and factories to manufacture rain shelters and shade nets. In addition, a logistics desk oversees the entire operation, coordinating a transportation network, also managed by volunteers.

Some of the key initiatives include the "Soldiers' Welfare Operations Room," which offers comprehensive support to military units by providing easy access to services and resources. Another notable project, "Logistics Tourism," invites groups and individuals from Israel and abroad to learn about the organization’s work and participate in volunteer activities supporting soldiers and their missions.

The Soldier Operational Support and Civilian Logistics Center is a vital program to ensure that soldiers receive the resources they need to succeed in their duties, all while fostering a powerful sense of community and solidarity, uniting volunteers in support of those who serve.
