Rabbi Joshua Davidson says the Jewish community is looking for any opportunity to help their brothers and sisters through this war.
"For those of us whose lives have planted us here in the Untied States, one of the ways we can be of service is by making sure that Israelis have what they need," he said.
The first aid supplies will go to IDF units. The formula will be sent to hospitals.
