Invite a service member to one's home for Shabbat dinner or for Passover; often the synagogue near a base will know. Reach out to the Jewish War Veterans of the US to see if there are any in need locally. Support Jewish military families.
There is a wide world of local need, many of those in need don't reach out. The support will go directly, not for overhead.

Good ideas, boy this thread sure makes me miss Richard.
I believe what the prophets say, that God chose a people out and put his name on them, and from then on the world has been tested to see how people will treat his people. " Bless those who bless Israel."
