Help Provide a Million Meals to Gaza Families


UPDATE

Thanks to YOUR support, Rebuilding Alliance, in partnership with the World Food Programme, was able to serve 2.4 MILLION MEALS in Gaza— just during Ramadan! That's a total of 2,465,358 hot meals served to displaced families in Gaza from March 11th to April 9th. That's an incredible accomplishment, and it wouldn't have been possible without your generosity. 

About our hot meals program: By the Hands of Your People

Rebuilding Alliance in partnership with the World Food Program (WFP) served over 120,000 hot meals a day in multiple locations in Gaza with the help of its community-based organizations (CBO) partners and Neighborhood Kitchen Teams.

Our cooking teams report long lines of people esp. children in all distribution points 
Supplies received from the World Food Programme
  • The WFP is providing food supplies: flour, rice, chickpeas, tomato paste, and canned food including meat to Rebuilding Alliance’s CBO partners in Gaza.
  • Each of Rebuilding Alliance's CBO partners in Gaza are cooking hot meals from their field kitchens in Rafah and also in Gaza City.
  • The Neighborhood kitchen teams are provided daily wages to cook and provide outside their homes or tents to make 200-300 meals per day to feed displaced families in their neighborhood.
Kitchen run by one of Rebuilding Alliance's NGO partner in Gaza feeding thousands of people a day
Kitchen run by a community-based chef (who just finished High School) feeding over 700 people /day

WFP is covering 3/4 of the costs of the program. We ask your help to meet Rebuilding Alliance's commitment. Because the WFP's supply of foodstuffs is so irregular, we need to give the Home-Based Chefs the ability to buy food and wood and water in the daily farmer's market — that's why we ask your help.

About Rebuilding Alliance

Rebuilding Alliance is a US-based 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing equal rights for the Palestinian people through education, advocacy, and support that assures Palestinian families the right to a home, schooling, economic security, safety, and a promising future.

How did the Rebuilding Alliance learn to deliver food even when bombs were falling? 

What we've learned is not something that came easily. In 2014, as 1000 bombs were falling each day, thousands ran for their lives, taking refuge in U.N. schools. The family whom the late Rachel Corrie sought to protect in Gaza asked us to arrange food deliveries and cleaning supplies when we thought it near impossible. Store owners accepted a promissory note from Rebuilding Alliance and the Rachel Corrie Foundation. Volunteers joined in to pick up the food, bringing it to the 2000 people taking refuge in each of the  UN schools. Thanks to the Arab American AntiDiscrimination Committee and to our guests, the Right to Movement Marathon Runners, we raised all the funds needed.

Please know that all our work is in full accordance with all U.S. laws and regulations.

With your support, 2.4 million meals were served during Ramadan


Dear Friends, 


Your support has made a real difference in the lives of displaced people in Gaza who are starving. Thanks to YOUR support, Rebuilding Alliance, in partnership with the World Food Programme, was able to serve 2.4 MILLION MEALS in Gaza— just during Ramadan! That's a total of 2,465,358 hot meals served to displaced families in Gaza from March 11th to April 9th. That's an incredible accomplishment, and it wouldn't have been possible without your generosity. 


In addition to this, on the occasion of Eid, we were also able to bring some joy to 200 children in the North of Gaza. Our NGO partner, the Youth Vision Society, took 100 girls and 100 boys for Eid shopping, and among them were 30 children who had lost their parents in the war. We are grateful to Laila el Haddad for raising $12,000 for this cause. 


Please visit www.RebuildingAlliance.org to learn more about our work.


Once again, thank you for your generosity and support.


Sincerely,

Rebuilding Alliance Team

Now feeding 120,000 people a day in Gaza with your support



We want to express our gratitude for your support towards "By the Hands of Your People: Feeding Gaza Families During Ramadan!" Your kindness has enabled us to expand our cooking operations and serve even more people in Gaza during Ramadan.

Our cooking teams are now feeding 120,000 people, which surpasses our initial goal of 50,000 people

  • Currently, Rebuilding Alliance, in partnership with the World Food Programme, is supporting 28 kitchens, up from 18 at the beginning of Ramadan
  • These kitchens are now delivering meals to a greater number of locations in Gaza, including Rafah, Mawasi, Khan Younis, Dair al Ballah, Nusirat, Maghazi and Gaza City, covering more neighborhoods

We want to admire the dedication and hard work of the cooking teams in Gaza. Despite facing personal losses and challenging situations, our cooking teams have been working long hours with limited resources to provide meals to others while fasting. They have gone to great lengths to provide relief to others during Ramadan by adjusting their cooking schedules and cooking close to iftar time, wrapping bread in foil to keep it fresh, and serving meals in the mornings and evenings. Their efforts are truly commendable and we thank them for their selflessness and dedication. 

Rebuilding Alliance held an Informational Webinar on 'How Rebuilding Alliance Feeds Families in Gaza' on March 24th. Unfortunately, we had difficulty fully hearing from the speakers from Gaza. They have shared their statements with us, and our filmmakers in Gaza have helped us prepare a video statement from Lama. https://www.rebuildingalliance.org/new-blog/2024/4/3/informational-webinar-on-hot-meals-program-in-gaza


Ramadan will end soon but the need for sustenance only intensifies. As many humanitarian organizations suspend their work due to safety concerns, it becomes even more crucial that we continue our efforts. 


Thank you for supporting displaced families in Gaza this Ramadan. Eid Mubarak!
