Care Packages for Soldiers in the Field

Each SNAX is a small care package filled with nutritious snacks and a personal message or drawing from a child. Designed to fit easily into a soldier’s uniform pocket, it provides something to eat during long missions in the field and, just as importantly, a reminder that someone back home is thinking of them.

The Story Behind This Project

SNAX was created by Vanessa, who turned her passion for healthy living into a grassroots initiative supporting soldiers during the war.

Together with a dedicated team of volunteers, she prepares individual snack bags that are easy for soldiers to carry during long missions. What began as a simple idea quickly grew through the support of volunteers and schools across Israel, with children adding handwritten notes and drawings to every bag.

Some of these connections have gone even further: children have left their phone numbers in their notes, and soldiers have called them personally to say thank you. It is this combination of practical support and human connection that makes every SNAX bag special.
