Project Overview
During these challenging times, the Lebanese Food Bank is working tirelessly to ensure that vulnerable individuals across Lebanon have access to basic nutrition and essential care.
Since the outbreak of the recent crisis, the Lebanese Food Bank has been providing two daily meals and snacks to displaced individuals across multiple areas in Beirut and beyond, particularly within schools converted into shelters.
We have currently adopted 8 schools in Beirut, where we are committed to supporting displaced families by providing two meals per day.
Daily Cost (Beirut only): $10,000
Monthly Budget: $300,000
Thanks to the solidarity and trust of our donors, we are able to sustain this critical support.
Expansion Across Lebanon
In addition to Beirut, the Lebanese Food Bank is actively expanding its support to other regions across Lebanon, where needs continue to grow rapidly.
Starting March 2, 2026, our outreach has increased to cover a larger number of displaced individuals nationwide.
Our Programs
1. Hot Meals Distribution
Donated Hot Meals: Provided by partner NGOs, restaurants, and hotels
Paid Hot Meals: Purchased to meet increasing demand
Cost per meal: $2.5
2. Dry Food Distribution
a. Food Boxes for Households
We deliver food boxes to families living in homes who are not included in shelter-based assistance.
Cost per box: $20
b. Support to Community Kitchens
We supply raw materials to local kitchens to expand their capacity and reach more beneficiaries.
(Primarily donation-based)
3. Additional Food Support

Impact & Efficiency
In the first days of the crisis, thousands of meals were distributed, mainly in Beirut.
Thanks to donor trust and strong partnerships, the Lebanese Food Bank has been able to reduce nearly 50% of food procurement costs.
Note: Savings exclude indirect costs such as transportation and staff salaries.
