About
Nourishing Communities, One Loaf at a Time
The Lifeline of Daily Bread
In Lebanon, economic hardships have left many families struggling to afford basic necessities. Bread, a staple in every household, has become a luxury for too many. Without it, families face hunger and malnutrition. Our mission is to change this reality by providing freshly baked bread to those in need, ensuring no family goes without their daily sustenance.
Your Support Makes a Difference
Through our Bread Distribution initiative, we collaborate with local bakeries to deliver bread to the hardest-hit areas, including refugee camps and impoverished neighborhoods. Your generous contributions enable us to:
- Provide consistent bread supplies to children and their families.
- Support local economies by partnering with community bakeries.
- Alleviate hunger and bring hope to those facing food insecurity.

Extend a Hand of Compassion
Every loaf of bread symbolizes hope and resilience. By donating, you're not just providing food; you're showing solidarity with families striving for a better tomorrow. Together, we can ensure that no table is empty and no child goes to bed hungry.
Lebanon
What Is Happening
Lebanon's currency collapse has put ordinary food out of reach for ordinary families. People who were never poor are counting loaves. The shops are open and the shelves are full, which is its own kind of cruelty.
What UMMA Is Doing
We fund bakeries and distributions that put bread and basic supplies into households every week. Your donation pays for flour, fuel and the delivery that gets it to the families who need it.
Common Questions
Is my donation secure?
Card details go to Stripe and never reach our servers. We see the amount, the campaign and the receipt address, nothing else.
Are my donations tax deductible?
Yes, to the extent allowed by law. You receive a receipt for every donation, and all of them are in My Donations, in the UMMA app or your dashboard on the web.
Can I give my Zakat to UMMA?
Yes, and only to campaigns marked Zakat eligible. Zakat is restricted to the categories in Surah At Tawbah (9:60), so UMMA will not let it be applied anywhere else. If no eligible campaign is open, we say so rather than route it elsewhere.
How do you decide where donations go?
Donations go to the campaign you choose, and that campaign shows its own progress. If you donate without choosing one, funds go where the need is greatest at that moment.
Can I cancel a recurring donation?
Yes, at any time, in My Donations in the UMMA app or on the web. No email and no phone call. Gave without an account? The link in your receipt email cancels it.
Something went wrong with my donation. Who do I tell?
Email hello@ummafoundation.org with the receipt number and a person replies. Refunds follow the refund policy on this site.
What happens if this campaign does not reach its goal?
The work carries on with what was raised. Donations are not held back waiting for a total and they are not moved to another campaign: they go to this one, and the progress bar shows exactly where it stands.
What happens if it raises more than its goal?
It keeps accepting donations and the extra goes to the same work. A goal is what we planned for, not a cap on the need, and a campaign that has passed its goal is still the campaign you chose.
