WHY

 

We hope that through the #CookForPalestine campaign we will raise awareness, sustain momentum and raise funds for the intensifying humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Through cooking, sharing recipes and the power of social media, we invite everyone to help keep the world’s attention on Palestine.

– The #CookForPalestine Team

 
 

Our Mission

#CookForPalestine is in response to the devastating humanitarian crisis unfolding in Gaza and inspired by the success of previous #CookFor campaigns. We hope to raise awareness, sustain momentum and raise funds using the universal language of food - a language loved and understood by all. #CookForPalestine aims to celebrate Palestinian values of hospitality and generosity whilst empowering our community to use their influence within their immediate networks and wider.

As part of the campaign, we invite our global community of restaurants, chefs and hosts to take part in #CookForPalestine by cooking, baking and sharing Palestinian-inspired dishes at their restaurants with their guests, at home with their friends and across social media with their community and followers. Key ingredients in Palestinian cuisine include olive oil, legumes, seafood, figs, yoghurt, flatbread, hummus and rich spice blends like za’atar and sumac.

With the help of volunteers, we will also be organising fundraisers, rotating supper clubs and bake sales with all proceeds directed to Choose Love.

Join us on our mission to raise funds for the urgent humanitarian crisis in Palestine!

 
 
 

Have a Question?

  • #CookForPalestine is a community and volunteer-led campaign designed to raise awareness and funds for the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The organisation is strictly humanitarian and focused on the freedom and basic human rights of all. For those who wish to raise funds, we have selected Choose Love as our recommended charity. The campaign is led by a group of entrepreneurs, food writers, chefs, and marketers who believe in using their skills and influence to support those they can.

  • #CookForPalestine is a humanitarian community focused on raising awareness and funds to aid the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. We stand for basic rights for all people. We have no political affiliations.

  • We recognise the many stages of support required for recovery and sought to work with charities able to support rapidly evolving needs on the ground in the most effective way. We have selected Choose Love as our charity partner because they are working with a number of local partners, and allocating funds based on the most immediate needs. They are currently working with Palestine Children’s Relief Fund, Medial Aid for Palestinians and Anera in Gaza. The funds raised through #CookForPalestine funds are strictly ring fenced for distribution between the above identified local partners in Gaza.

  • Absolutely. Our aim is to raise awareness and funds using the universal language of food, and so we invite all those in the Hospitality, Food and Drinks industries to join #CookForPalestine and help raise funds for the urgent humanitarian crisis in Gaza. We encourage you to get creative with ways to fundraise in the spirit of #CookForPalestine - bars can add Palestinian-inspired cocktails to their menu, delis and online stores can add an ‘invisible’ item to facilitate donations, whilst food stalls and pop ups can run Palestinian-inspired specials for a limited time. Please get in touch at hello@cookforpalestine.com if you’d like to discuss ideas and options further.

  • We do not have capacity to complete due diligence or endorse charities that are not official partners. If you are making a donation to a charity focused on Palestine, please do your research and check with regulatory bodies to confirm legitimacy and efficacy. #CookForPalestine is not political and does not promote any political agendas.

  • We will do our best to share the work of credible charities who align with our values and are focused on a humanitarian response, not political. We are all volunteers so this will be case by case!
