Sunshine Volunteer Mission: For Active Adults 55+

January 19 - 23, 2025 - Volunteer Mission

Ages 55 +
Winter Winter
Very Large Group 20 - 40 people

AN EXCEPTIONAL CHANCE FOR ACTIVE ADULTS 55+ TO VOLUNTEER & REBUILD IN ISRAEL

 

**Tickets for direct flights from US to Israel on El Al are sold out/very limited. Please check your flight options for the mission dates before registration. 

Join other active adults 55+ on our Sunshine Volunteer in Israel Mission to make a difference for the people in Israel – the farmers, evacuees, returnees, soldiers, store-owners, and more. Together, we are making a difference for the future, rebuilding communities back in the Israel Envelope and the Galilee.

Spend 4 meaningful days with us providing hands-on support. When you help a community move back, watch a child walk into their school, dance with an IDF soldier, see the gratitude in a farmer’s eyes, you will never be the same.  

    

Mission Highlights:  

  • Rebuild Israel's southern kibbutzim affected by October 7, by planting, cleaning, painting, and repairing communities for returning evacuees.

  • Spend time with evacuees and the people who are providing lifesaving efforts to support them.

  • Work together on farms, picking vegetables and other crops to help prevent a massive shortage in the Israeli market and ensure that no farmer is left alone.

  • Meet with Israelis, soldiers, survivors, and influential figures to hear firsthand about the ongoing situation and personal experiences.
  • Spend a meaningful Shabbat in Jerusalem and a weekend exploring the Old City, Machane Yehuda Market, Mt. Herzl, and more when you join our pre-mission extension.
