Lights for LebanonDonate

Home / Our work

What we have done so far

We have raised $2,000+ and we are still counting. The money comes from GoFundMe, bake sales, events, and donations we received outside GoFundMe, and it ends up as supplies for displaced families.

Bake sales

Our Bethesda bake sale raised over $450 for displaced families in Lebanon. People showed up and bought our homemade cookies and brownies.

Our Pike & Rose bake sale raised over $250. Thank you to everyone who stopped by.

Supplies in Lebanon

We donate care packages to displaced families in Lebanon. Each one holds food that keeps, hygiene products like soap and toothpaste, and other essentials families ask for.

We work with local organizations so the packages reach the families who need them.

Visiting Beit el Baraka

We spent time with the Beit el Baraka team, walking through their shelves, storerooms, and planning room.

Events and awareness

We run events that explain what families in Lebanon are facing and raise money at the same time. If you want to host one with us, say hello.
