Help keep Magen David Adom’s fleet running strong

Last year, more than 1.3 million MDA emergency vehicles were deployed to save Israeli lives. So, it’s no surprise to maintain this high level of service, the MDA fleet requires frequent replacements and upgrading.

Your gift of a vehicle for Magen David Adom is the gift of life to Israelis in need of emergency medical care. It’s as if you’re sitting next to the driver, sharing in the mitzvah of pikuach nefesh, saving a life.

Perpetual Ambulance Fund Program

There’s no better way to support the people of Israel than by donating a lifesaving vehicle. The Perpetual Ambulance Fund offers one of the most meaningful gifts a donor can give to Magen David Adom. Your gift will create a named fund, with the interest earned providing an ambulance to Magen David Adom every five to seven years.
