Ways to Give


Israel is under attack. But there are many ways you can help.

Given the enormity of the Israeli humanitarian crisis and current war, it’s easy to feel helpless. But we can make a difference — not in the war — but in the impact it’s having on Israelis.

Your support of Magen David Adom literally saves lives, providing the equipment that can make the difference between a hospital stay and a funeral. Your donations provide the ambulances, ambulances, protective vests and helmets, and the critical supplies MDA needs right now. 

American Friends of Magen David Adom is a proud four-star recipient of Charity Navigator.
