Help Lebanon Out

The recent fighting between Israel and Hezbollah affected a large amount of innocent Lebanese citizens. Since the cease-fire, many refugees have returned to Lebanon to find ruined homes, bombed-out businesses and worse.

All this weekend the Austin Chapter of the American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee [site] will be holding a drive, collecting items to send over to Lebanon. Such supplies as non-perishable food items, sleeping bags, medical supplies, and clothing will be collected. For the full list of requested items for donation, check here. Various locations throughout the weekend will be serving as donation drop-off sites - see the extended entry for a full list.
