from Gaza to DC

🚨🚨🚨 POP-UP ALERT 🚨🚨🚨

Join Marcelle and Jinan as we prepare and serve recipes from our dear friend and chef from Gaza, Ahmad.

Ahmad had landed his dream job at one of the best restaurants in Gaza on October 5th. Unfortunately, two days later, he lost his job due to occupational aggression on Gaza. After that, Ahmad and his family cooked for the displaced people in their area of Rafah using whatever supplies they could find.

During Ramadan, Ahmad started creating and sharing recipes online that used creative ingredients to replicate traditional Palestinian food. His vision is remarkable, and he has inspired people all over the world with his resilience.

Last week, Ahmad and his family left Gaza to Egypt amongst the threats of a ground invasion. He is starting over in a new country and needs help with rent so that he can rebuild his dream of being a chef.

Join us for this incredible meal on May 8th at D Light Cafe. Tickets available here. Proceeds from ticket sales will go to Ahmad's fund. You can also help him directly by reaching out to him.
