Together for Lebanon Fundraiser

Overview

A selection of local Melbourne businesses with family ties to Lebanon are coming together on Sunday, December 8 (from 10am–1pm) to raise money for Beit el Baraka — which supports people who are currently suffering in Lebanon. 

On the day, you can drop by the legendary Lebanese restaurant Abla's to shop for handmade jewellery by Linden Cook, and grab some food from Alimentari (Med-inspired vegetarian salads), Larderfresh (artisanal jars of pickles) and A1 Bakery (bread and savoury pastries). 

You can either take these bites away with you or head to the back of Abla's for an intimate picnic.

Managing Director of Linden Cook Georgie Amad shared, "We have been deeply saddened by the devastating events unfolding in Lebanon. 

"My grandmother migrated from Lebanon to Australia in 1954 and started Abla's Restaurant. Since then, her nieces have launched Alimentari and Larder Fresh, and my Mum and I founded Linden Cook. 

"This is about more than just fundraising — it's about coming together as a community to share stories, food, and solidarity. Our hearts are with Lebanon, and we are committed to doing all that we can to help from afar."
