Palestine still needs your help! Over the past 2.5 years, the world has watched scenes of horror unfold in Gaza, Palestine, as innocent civilians, including children, are killed, despite the ceasefire agreement. The genocide must stop NOW.

We’ve teamed up with Corner Stone Cafe, a Palestinian-owned cafe at UTS in Ultimo, and Nesma from Palestinian Hands, to deliver a buffet-style lunch. There’ll be some exciting raffle prizes up for grabs too, including a spa voucher, vouchers from Ho Jiak and Where’s Nick Wine Bar, blocks of Palestine Chocolate, soulful products from Magenta House Redfern, Better Read than Dead voucher, maamouls from Yafa Sweets and more!

All  profits will be donated to the World Central Kitchen that is still able to operate in Gaza. In March 3, 2026, some of WCK’s trucks made it through the Gaza border. Their founder José Andrés has more: “Some of our trucks made it through the Gaza border today, which is good news. Every day we need more trucks and more food so we can keep feeding hungry families. But it’s not enough. We need a constant flow of food and fuel. Every day. All the humanitarian groups need their trucks to go through, especially with medicine and medical supplies. This is the lifeline for Gaza and it needs to stay open.
