As of May 31st, our community kitchens have served 22.5 Million meals

By Donna Baranski-Walker and Lama Abed

For the past 1 year and 7 months, Rebuilding Alliance’s kitchen teams have been feeding tens of thousands of people every day in Gaza. In total, as of May 31st, our community kitchens have served 22.5 Million meals.  

Up until May 31st, our eight remaining kitchens were serving 27,000 meals each day, across Gaza. They were forced to stop when food supplies finally ran out. No rice. No lentils. No oil. Nothing to cook with. Nothing to give.

Our teams held on as long as they could. Even when bombings shook the ground around them. Even when clean water ran out. Even when they had to make impossible choices about who to feed first. But now, they can’t cook anymore. Because aid is barely coming through, and families are starving.

Still, we are not giving up. While our kitchens can no longer operate, we are urgently working to deliver food parcels to 496 families of severely malnourished children. These families were identified by Ard Al Insan, a distinguished pediatric association in Gaza and long-time partner of Rebuilding Alliance, who is providing nutrition supplements to these children in crisis.

We need your help to fund the emergency food distribution. Every dollar you give will be doubled because three generous foundations are providing matching funds!

  • -Dr. Bronner's is matching all donations dollar for dollar up to $25,000

  • -The Mary and Oland Garrison Charitable Fund is matching all donations up to $5,000

  • An Anonymous Foundation is matching all donations up to $5,000

Rebuilding Alliance’s kitchens are ready to restart the moment the food reaches us. But until then, we’ll do whatever we can to feed families at risk.

Please, don’t look away. Keep speaking. Keep sharing. Keep pushing for access. Gaza needs food. Gaza needs you. Donate now and share this link with friends: https://bit.ly/Give_food_parcels — link in bio.
