Kaufman was tasked with the whole issue of the lone soldiers, as well as strengthening the relationship that had loosened in recent years between the Association for the Soldier in Haifa and the community.
Along with many actions that take place behind the scenes such as the adoption of lone soldiers in the soldier's home, in apartments and recruiting donors, this year Kaufman decided to return the distribution of the gift packages to the soldiers, an area that has been somewhat neglected in recent years in Haifa.
We all remember the experience of giving every year when the children and families come together to collect bags and fill them with goodies for our soldiers, so the subject that returned to the agenda moved the residents and the commitment was great and exciting.
So what will change this time of all times?
Cooperation after many years between the association for the soldier in Haifa, municipality Haifa And Aylana Wagman from the department of elementary education. Gift bags were distributed to all elementary schools in Haifa.
This time there is close cooperation between the association and the municipality and Ilana Wagman is the director of the elementary education department, so over 12,000 bags were distributed in the various schools, which made the distribution the largest done in recent years in the entire northern region.
In addition, there are many people in Haifa who want to take part in the activity, and private entities are also happy to help and contribute.
A collaboration was formed between Nir Shuver, owner of the Heina coffee kiosk chain in Haifa, and Yuval Kaufman.
Yesterday morning, hundreds of bags were distributed in the "Hina" chain of businesses, which were filled within a few hours from passers-by and locals who immediately jumped at the opportunity to fill them.
The operation received more resonance than expected, therefore within a few hours more than 500 bags of coffee and wine were collected and the expansion of the distribution of the bags also increased to the kindergartens in the Carmel area.
The distribution is only the opening curtain of the future activities and collaborations that support the individual soldier and the Haifa soldier and connect the community.
Yuval Kaufman, vice chairman of the association "Together for the Soldier" in its new form with good people all day mobilizing to help opens its doors to any volunteer who wants to be a part of our work for the soldiers of Haifa.
We will continue to do beautiful things"
