FoodBlessed Emergency Relief: The Work Continues 🇱🇧❤️ The most recent war on Lebanon has precipitated a humanitarian crisis, resulted in the deaths of more than 4,000 people from Israeli strikes in Lebanon, and seen the forced displacement of over 1 million. Since the onset of the war, FoodBlessed’s Emergency Relief Campaign has been supporting displaced families across Beirut and Mount Lebanon. Thanks to your support, we’ve reached over 50,000 beneficiaries. ❤️ From March through June, we distributed emergency relief aid on a weekly basis, responding to the urgent needs of families forced from their homes. As the situation evolved, we adapted our response. Starting in July, we moved to biweekly and then monthly distributions, continuing to support families whose needs did not end with the war. Many have lost their homes and are still living in shelters or staying with relatives. Others have lost their livelihoods and are struggling to make ends meet. Today, we continue to prioritize the most vulnerable: displaced families, households who have lost their homes or livelihoods, single-parent households, people with disabilities, families with sick children, and those facing unemployment. Because the end of a war doesn't mean the end of its consequences. Our work is far from over. With your continued support, we can keep showing up for the families who need us most. Thank you for standing with Lebanon. 🇱🇧❤️ For ways to support our work, kindly check our bio!

14 years of FoodBlessed. ❤️ And somehow, we’re still here. FoodBlessed turned 14 this year. We didn’t really celebrate. The country was at war, and celebrating didn’t feel right. But today, I want to pause for a moment and acknowledge what 14 years actually means to me. Because I could talk for hours about FoodBlessed. About how many times it seemed impossible. How many times I had absolutely no idea how we were going to make something happen. How many times I was exhausted, overwhelmed, frustrated, burned out… and still somehow found the strength to push a little further. There was always this voice in my head saying: Just try. Push a little further. You can do this. And if you fail, at least you tried. Because trying is half the battle. FoodBlessed has been my labour of love. My first baby. My life’s mission. My joy. And, if I’m being completely honest, sometimes the reason I was completely exhausted and burnt out. 😂 But would I do it all again? In a heartbeat. We didn’t stop during COVID. We didn’t stop after the Beirut port explosion. We were out in the streets and in people’s homes, among the first responders. We didn’t stop when war came in 2024. And we didn’t stop in 2026. Because somewhere along the way, FoodBlessed stopped being my idea. It became ours. It started as an idea in a workshop run by Al Ahli Group, where I met Lina and Pierre — two of the earliest mentors in my life. That little idea became an NGO. And the NGO became a community. A community of more than 5,000 people who have volunteered, donated, packed, delivered, cooked, rescued, organized, carried, driven, called, shared, opened doors and simply showed up. Some stayed for years. Some stayed for a day. It didn’t matter. They all left a little piece of themselves in FoodBlessed. And today, I wear my FoodBlessed T-shirt with the same pride I always have. Because I know what it stands for- real heroes are ordinary people doing extraordinary And if you don't believe me, look at what this community has done. FoodBlessed is one of the things that makes me especially proud. From the community, to the community isn't just a nice idea..

Week 7 recap update A little overdue, but still important to share. Week 8 and 9 updates coming soon… Eight weeks into the war — and the cycle keeps repeating. Every week follows the same rhythm: Meeting and planing the week ahead. Assessing needs. Coordinating with the displaced families. Securing supplies. Preparing hygiene kits, ready-to-eat meals, monthly food parcels, shelter kits, baby essential kits, and medications. Packing. Sorting. Delivering. Then doing it all over again. Since the start of the war, this has become part of our everyday reality. None of this happens without your support. To every donor, volunteer, partner, and person standing by displaced families alongside us — thank you for helping us continue this work every single day 🤍 Special thanks to our amazing supporters and fundraising efforts by Melodie Saffieddine, Doris Brubhart and the donations made to us on the Global Giving platform! ••• We can only keep going with your support 👇🏻 ➡️ Whish / OMT / Western Union: +96170159337 ➡️ Venmo Jennifer Mudawwar @jennifermaha (verification code: 1413) ➡️ PayPal jmudawar@gmail.com ➡️ Online https://goto.gg/68198 ➡️ Bank transfer Bank name: Bank of Beirut and the Arab Countries (BBAC SAL) Account Name: ORG FoodBlessed SWIFT code: BBACLBBX Account no. $ 00457758002 IBAN no.
