About Us
We founded Midbar on October 8th 2023. Since then, we’ve fed over 10,000 IDF soldiers on 54 bases with thanks to our generous donors across the world.
We are a group of friends who watched our brothers, friends, colleagues and cousins put on their uniforms to defend the frontlines so we decided to help them. We have one mission: to support our heroes risking their lives protecting our homeland. They face challenges that most of us can only imagine and when their mission is over, they deserve more than just a thank you.
That’s where Midbar comes in. We organise BBQs for these heroes – a moment to relax, bond, and escape from their harsh reality. It’s our way of showing appreciation, and giving them the support they truly deserve.
ISRAEL IS UNDER ATTACK
This is a defining moment for the Jewish people. We can’t do it without YOU. Your donations makes these events possible.
We can’t do it alone. As Jews, it is our duty to support our soldiers and our Israel in every way we can. It’s more than just food, it’s a reminder that we stand with them. It’s a reminder that Am Yisrael Chai.
Join us in giving back to those who give everything, our soldiers are sacrificing their lives for our safety and our Israel. Donate to Midbar – together, we can make every mission end with a moment of peace.

1. What does Midbar do?
Midbar organises BBQ events for our soldiers and miluimnicks in Israel. We provide them with a delicious home-style BBQ meal, a few hours of fun (Midbar style!), and a sense of appreciation from Jewish people around the world. These events provide more than just food – they boost morale and offer support to our soldiers who dedicate their lives protecting Israel.

Your donation directly supports the logistics and costs associated with organising these BBQ events. This includes purchasing high quality meats, salads, desserts, drinks, BBQ supplies and disposable paperware. Our BBQs are Kosher.
3. How are the BBQs organised?
We partner with military bases and units to coordinate the BBQs, working closely with commanders and on-the-ground staff to plan events for soldiers beginning and completing intense missions. The events are typically held at various military bases across Israel, where we bring in the food, grill equipment, and volunteers to serve the soldiers.
