As we write this message to you about MECA’s community kitchens that provide thousands of meals a day, a major storm is creating new catastrophic conditions in Gaza. MECA’s Gaza staff and partners are working as fast as we can to distribute aid to families who have been flooded and soaked in this storm.

We’ll send you an update soon about MECA’s storm relief in Gaza. But right now we want to tell you more about the vital work of our four community kitchens and ask you to make a special year-end contribution for all emergency aid in Gaza.

The genocide has slowed but it has not ended and people in Gaza are still cold and malnourished.
Please make the most generous year-end contribution you can to provide hot, nutritious meals and other emergency aid to people who are struggling every day just to survive.

We know you understand that the so-called ceasefire has not ended the killing, destruction, and hunger in Gaza. But more food is coming in and MECA’s four community kitchens are preparing 20,000 meals a day with fresh vegetables, fruits, meat, and bread.

Eman, a MECA Gaza staff member says, “Our kitchens play a vital role in restoring people’s health, to help people recover from the effects of famine, while maintaining dignity and quality in every dish we serve.”

Please make a special year-end contribution now to provide nutritious, hot meals and other emergency aid to people who have survived famine and bombs and are beginning to rebuild strength and their lives.

The hot meals MECA provides bring much-needed comfort and pleasure too during the cold, rainy weather. One woman said, “The potato dishes are some of the tastiest I’ve eaten, with spices perfectly balanced, just like home cooking.”

The food in the markets is very expensive and most people have little or no income. MECA’s kitchens provide 20,000 meals a day for free and we employ about 150 people. We can do even more with your donation now.

In solidarity,
All of us at MECA

P.S.  As MECA staff and partners distribute tents, blankets, warm clothes, and hygiene supplies for families impacted by the storm in Gaza, please make a special year-end contribution now to provide nutritious, hot meals and other emergency aid to people who have lost nearly everything.
