It's a promise that runs both ways. ZAKA's volunteers make sure no one in Israel ever faces their darkest moment alone. Your monthly gift makes sure the volunteers are never alone either.

Give monthly

Stand with the volunteers who never leave.

Give once, and your kindness keeps showing up, every month, for every call, even on the days you forget. You become the reason a volunteer is ready when Israel's worst moment comes. Secure, tax-deductible, and done in under a minute. Pause or change it anytime.

In Israel, the call can come at any moment.

A terror attack. A highway crash. A sudden loss on an ordinary Tuesday. In the moments that follow, a family faces the unimaginable. And the clock that decides whether a life can still be saved is already running.

ZAKA runs toward what everyone else runs from.

ZAKA's volunteers are first on the scene. Often before the ambulance, in the minutes that matter most. They give everything: leaving their own beds at 3 a.m., their own Shabbos tables, to make sure no one in Israel is left alone in their worst moment. They don't get paid. They just go.

From the first call to the last act of kindness, a ZAKA volunteer never leaves.

"The vest on my back. The radio in my hand. The fuel that gets us there in minutes. It's funded by people like you. You're in the ambulance with me. You're saving lives."

Why monthly

Because the emergencies never stop.

A volunteer's trauma kit runs empty. Their gear wears thin. Their motorcycle needs fuel. Every single month, the cost of being ready comes due again. Your monthly gift is what keeps ZAKA ready for the next call, and the one after that. It's the steadiest way to make sure no one in Israel is ever alone.

What your monthly gift does.

Most members choose $36 a month. It puts a vest, a helmet, and gloves on a volunteer's back, so the one who runs toward Israel's worst moments comes home safe too.

Monthly gifts support ZAKA Tel Aviv's area of greatest need. The amounts illustrate what your steadfast support makes possible.

What it means to be Never Alone.

You'll see what most people never do. Stories from the field, straight from the team.

When the call comes, you're already there. You're not a donation. You're part of this.

You'd be in good company.

A growing community already makes sure Israel is never alone.
