Oak & Vine Collective - Founding Campaign Fundraising Goal: ₪200,000 (approx. $54,800)
Who we are
Oak & Vine Collective is a nonprofit initiative in formation, founded by Maya Alter. We are building a subscription box service delivering curated goods from small Israeli businesses recovering after the war - and channeling every profit to rehabilitation for wounded soldiers, bereaved families, and war-affected communities across Israel's north and the Gaza Envelope.
The war isn't over. And rebuilding must start now.
Communities were torn apart, homes destroyed, and small businesses across the country are struggling to survive. Soldiers returned home wounded - physically and psychologically. Families are grieving. We are here to help rebuild what the war took: economically, physically, and emotionally.
This campaign is part of a broader fundraising effort that includes additional funding sources.

Our commitment to transparency
Should we be unable to build the operation to a viable scale, all remaining funds - after actual expenses incurred - will be donated in full to the Rehabilitation Department at Sheba Medical Center.
Your contribution will never be wasted. It will either build something that helps Israel - or directly reach those who need it most.
Please note that these are estimates and may change as the organization develops.
This work is dedicated to the memory of Yotam Bodeg — a boy of 10½ who gave every coin of his pocket money to those in need. His spirit is the foundation of everything we build.
