Helping Hands Ministry Collects Items for Israel

“Many Jewish people are migrating to Israel,” says Tony Haywood of West End. “Israel makes housing available to newcomers, but no material provisions are in those houses or apartments. Some immigrants arrive with little or nothing.”

Haywood and his wife, Donna, who founded Helping Hands Ministry in 1996, are collecting blankets, quilts, comforters, adult diapers and warm clothing to send to Israel. Only items listed may be shipped; the deadline for contributing items is September 15.

“Helping Hands Ministry is a nondenominational Christian ministry that delivers goods at no charge to the poor all over the world,” Haywood says. “We’ve shipped humanitarian items to over 20 countries.”

Haywood met Barry Feinman, founder of Jezreel International, at a TECH (Technical Exchange Christian Healthcare) conference in Boone, last year. TECH is a membership organization representing over 140 nonprofit Christian medical relief organizations. Haywood plans to ship collected-for-Israel items through Jezreel International to Nitzanei Oz, an Israeli settlement whose name in Hebrew literally means “Buds of Strength.”  

“The shipment is for The Joseph Project in Nitzanei Oz,” Haywood says. “Once it arrives, it will be distributed to 30 different humanitarian-aid projects in Israel. If you can help, it will be a huge blessing.”
