Operation LifeShield (OLS) is an ongoing emergency campaign for constructing bomb proof shelters in Israel whose communities are constantly under threat. The shelters both above ground and underground are built with steel-reinforced concrete products conforming to the strict guidelines and approval of the Israeli Defense Force Home Front Command. Shelters are necessary to protect schools, kindergartens, synagogues, parks, sidewalks, bus stops, senior and children day centres. The requests for these bomb shelters are overwhelming!

For 2024, we would like to raise $200,000 CAD. The cost for a small bell shaped bomb shelter is approx. $23,000, the cube shelters start at $32,000 each and the largest shelters are about$56,400. This would be a life-saving project for a large family group, foundation, synagogue or church to undertake. Each shelter can be dedicated to the donor’s name according to their request.
