B517 - Lebanon Emergency Relief Fund with World Central Kitchen
by Myriad Canada Foundation
The escalation of the conflict in the Middle East - and more recently in Lebanon - is creating yet another humanitarian crisis. Over 1 million Lebanese have been displaced
Chef Layth has devoted his heart and culinary skills to nourishing communities in need in southern Lebanon with WCK since October 2023. His passion for cooking goes beyond the kitchen—it’s about bringing comfort and warmth to people during their most challenging times.
from their homes, critical infrastructure has been damaged and essential services disrupted.
Myriad Canada is joining our Myriad Alliance partner Myriad US to raise emergency relief funds for Lebanese impacted by the conflict.
Donations received by Myriad Canada for this fund will be used to help communities in Lebanon through humanitarian relief projects carried out with our implementing partner World Central Kitchen. The rapidly evolving nature of the situation on the ground requires a responsive and agile response.
Contributions are distributed to projects implemented by diligently selected and trusted organizations that are actively responding to the most pressing needs on the ground.
Myriad Canada is committed to transparency and the integrity of our donors. We will provide updates on how and where your donations are being used. All contributions are eligible for a donation receipt for tax purposes in Canada.
Since 2020, Myriad Canada has been working with World Central Kitchen (WCK), a nonprofit whose mission is to be first to the frontlines and provide meals in response to humanitarian, climate and community crises.
From the start of this conflict in October 2023, WCK has been a leading provider of food aid in the Middle East, including Lebanon. As conditions worsen in Lebanon, WCK teams on the ground have been working relentlessly to scale up efforts to meet the needs of the growing number of families forced to flee their homes. They have increased their daily meal production from 6,000 to 50,000, serving displaced families in Beirut and in communities along the Israel-Lebanon border.
