How We Serve

Programs & Services

Food Assistance

No family should have to wonder where their next meal will come from. Through the generosity of our supporters, we provide food baskets and essential groceries to individuals and families facing hardship, a reminder that hope remains and no one is forgotten.

Family Support

Strong families build strong communities. We come alongside families with assistance tailored to their most immediate needs, strengthening households, encouraging resilience, and reminding every family that they are not alone.

Our Story

A Promise Kept, Year After Year

When Walid Haikal returned to Lebanon in 1995 after more than two decades away, he expected to revisit the homeland of his childhood. Instead, he encountered families facing extraordinary hardship, yet meeting each day with remarkable resilience, generosity, and hope.

That experience changed his life. He made a promise that he would return, not simply as a visitor, but as someone committed to serving the people of Lebanon. Since then, he has traveled back year after year, carrying humanitarian aid made possible through the generosity of friends, churches, families, and supporters who believe compassion has the power to change lives.

We serve so that others may find salvation through our love and our actions, trusting that every meal shared and every hand extended reflects a hope greater than ourselves.

"No one should face hardship alone. We serve because every person is created with inherent dignity, every family deserves hope, and every act of kindness — done in the love of Jesus Christ — has the power to transform lives."
