interested in
organizing an event
in your community to
support Palestine refugees?
Volunteers across the country host events to benefit Palestine refugees through UNRWA USA.
From dinners to yoga classes to film screenings, there is no limit to how creative you can be!
If you’re interested in organizing an event to benefit Palestine refugees via UNRWA USA, or already have a charitable event that is looking for beneficiaries, please complete and submit this interest form:
organize a
gather for gaza event
Gather for GAza
One of the most creative ways
that supporters of UNRWA USA
raise money to provide
UNRWA food assistance for refugees in Gaza
is by hosting a Gather for Gaza fundraising event (previously, Iftar for Gaza).
These events come in many forms.
You know your guests better than anyone,
so consider a gathering they will enjoy most.
Some past examples include:
a traditional iftar dinner, a vegan potluck,
Memorial Day BBQ, birthday parties,
wine and cheese gatherings.
Whatever you choose, the purpose of your
gathering for Gaza is to connect with your
community to educate them on the humanitarian situation facing Palestine refugees in Gaza and generate funds
for UNRWA's at-risk food assistance program.
