The Home Front Project
Ever since October 7th, The Home Front, a non-profit organization, is supporting the tens of thousands of border-community Israeli families left without a home.
In central Israel, a 16,000-square-foot hangar has been repurposed into a donation-based free shop, providing everything necessary for families to rebuild a home, from teaspoons to wardrobes.
We firmly believe that nurturing this renewed sense of home, even if temporary, is essential for the emotional and physical healing process of families and communities.
The Home Front initiative extends care to families of hostages, the bereaved, wounded soldiers, families from Southern and northern border-communities whose homes were destroyed, and those whose communities are sealed off and evacuated because of the continuing war.
To date, we have supported over 1400 families, with many more eagerly awaiting assistance.

The People of the Home Front
Home Front was conceived at the Robinzon’s Family home,
as a response to the horrors of October 7th and out of the constant worry for their youngest soldier son.
Orly, the family’s mother, is the author of 42 home design books and a prominent leader in her field, Adaya Robinzon is a business major and a home-design social media influencer, Ido Robinzon is a Psychology major, he runs the bar at a hi-end restaurant and has a deep understanding in home design.
The Robinzons lead the Home Front initiative together with Mati Glaser and with the support of dozens of amazing volunteers.
Over 130 dedicated volunteers are keeping the Home Front operations running. Some have been with us every day since October 7th.
The volunteers run the hangar operation; they receive and guide families through their visits, run the different hangar departments, they clean, move, pack, fix, paint, carry and lend a hand or an ear. Others run volunteer operations, manage donations, support tech operations, public relations, and interior design services to families.

Families
6yo A. came back from Hamas captivity.
She recently came to the Hangar to pick furnishings for her new room.
The Home Front supported over 1400 families thus far, most from the 22 communities attacked by hamas on October 7th.
Families with homes that were burned, bombed, ruined. Families that cannot take anything from their desecrated homes or wish to start the healing, and regain a sense of home elsewhere.
Home Front staff is working with families who lost their loved ones during the October 7th massacre, and families of soldiers killed in the October 7th aftermath. We work with families anxiously awaiting for the return of a loved one still in Hamas captivity, and those nursing injured family members.
The families are being supported before, during and after their visit to the Home Front hangar. The project's interior design volunteers provide free at-home design services to interested families.
״I have no words to thank you for what you did for me. In such turbulent times, so far from home, it's the first time I feel a sense of home again. You made me so happy"
"It's been so meaningful today. I didn't realize how enormously important that is. It taught me that feeling at home can take on so many shapes and forms "
"I could not believe, I honestly could not believe something like that can happen. You took a shabby, tiny apartment and made it into a place I do not want to leave! I thank you and the project so much!"
