Dear Friends and Supporters of FoodBlessed,
My name is Maya Terro, Co-Founder and Executive Director of FoodBlessed. I am writing this report with deep appreciation to recognize every contribution—large and small—made since the launch of this fundraiser, and to highlight the impact these generous donations have helped achieve.
Because of your continued support, this project has been able to respond to the rapidly growing humanitarian needs across Lebanon, delivering critical assistance to displaced and vulnerable families during an ongoing crisis. This report reflects the collective compassion that made this work possible.
REPORT SUMMARY
Over the past three months, thanks to the generosity of 379 donors who contributed $35,335, FoodBlessed delivered life-saving humanitarian assistance to displaced and vulnerable families across Lebanon.
The funds raised through this campaign enabled us to procure approximately 30,000 emergency relief items and reach an estimated 5,756 individuals (around 1,250 families) across Lebanon during this reporting period. Approximately 90% were displaced and living in informal settlements, including tents, vehicles, or makeshift accommodations, 8% were residing with relatives or host families—with some households accommodating up to five displaced families in a single apartment—and 2% were living in collective shelters..
Through this assistance, families received critical support tailored to their most urgent needs, including food assistance, hygiene supplies, baby essentials, life-saving medications, and emergency shelter items. Each intervention represented not only material relief, but also dignity, protection, and hope for families facing extremely difficult living conditions amid ongoing humanitarian challenges.

Challenges on the Ground
Despite these achievements, the humanitarian situation in Lebanon continues to worsen. The scale of need is growing faster than available resources, and displaced families continue to struggle with access to food, shelter, healthcare, and basic essentials.
Our teams remain committed, but the demand far exceeds available funding and supplies.
