Millions of people around the world are undernourished, and a lot of Lebanese people are no exception. According to the Lebanese Food Bank, a non-profit organization, 37.5% of the Lebanese population lives in poverty. More than half of these people live below the upper poverty line ($4/day), while the rest lives below the lower poverty line ($2.4/day). This organization is actively working to meet its goal which is feeding as many people as it can on a daily basis. In fact, the Lebanese Food Bank has partnered with hotels, banks, caterers, supermarkets, etc., which collect their surplus of food and offer them to the bank. https://www.facebook.com/together.against.hunger/photos/a.392866420850650.1073741851.146483492155612/928441607293126/?type=3&theater The Lebanese Food Bank collects the food and offers them to more than 70 NGOs that have different missions. This organization is also working on finding a sustainable solution for this issue that is affecting a lot of Lebanese families.

If you’re getting married, or maybe you know someone is tying the knot soon, you can donate the food surplus to the Lebanese Food Bank!
