The Lone Soldier Center is a grass-roots Israeli non-profit founded by former lone soldiers to support the more than 7,000 lone soldiers serving in the Israel Defense Forces. Michael Levin was an American-born lone soldier who fell fighting in the Second Lebanon War. The Lone Soldier Center was created by a group of Michael's friends, fulfilling his dream that one day lone soldiers would have a home away from home to receive meals, advice and help.
The Center is managed by over 300 volunteers who work to provide support for lone soldiers. The Center aims to create a family-like environment to help lone soldiers thrive in Israel before, during and after their military service.
