One story blew my mind away; I am writing this as a volunteer and I would like to share this with everyone;
One woman walked in with a smile that looked as though it was glued on, it wasn't authentic. Her eyes were crying, thus, with no tears shown. I tried to understand what her story was; furthermore, what could have made her look so utterly sad.
Many volunteers come to participate with help, especially during times of Holidays where help is needed. One volunteer witnessed something that brought tears to his eyes; a young boy of no more than 10 years of age came in to the 'supermarket' with a parent. He walked over to this volunteer with 12 shekels in his hand. This young boy handed it over to the volunteer and said "I also want to help, please put this in as a donation for this place."
Every item is marked with a price, the prices don’t include money, but instead it goes by points.
The points are given according to the amount of people in each family.
Shopping carts are aligned along the walls, a cashier that doesn’t have cash or change, only accepting a 'credit card' designed for C.H.A.I that stores the person's information, including how many points were used or how many points are left.

Many young soldiers come in with their General; volunteering help to all those families in need. Helping with whatever is needed, offering their time with hands wide open. The soldiers come in with empty trucks; leaving with them full to the maximum capacity, delivering merchandise and food to families in various cities.
Besides all the great merchandise to be given we will provide each family with 3 kilos of Shmura Matzah (Halperin Matzah) made from the finest.
Our Special for this year will be to give out to these 2,000 families all cleaning utensils in care for all the Passover cleaning
