Our Grassroots Story
Community-Powered Solidarity and Aid
After a year and a half of organizing online campaigns and fundraising for friends in Gaza Goods for Gaza originated in a local neighborhood with children’s plants, lemonade, and baked goods sales, we expanded into a community-led support network providing more substantial direct financial aid to Gaza.
The Principles Guiding Our Fundraising
Goods for Gaza’s values emphasize direct financial and mutual aid, community participation, respect, and authentic connection with Palestine.
Practical Solidarity
A foundation in participation with direct mutual aid and contributing financial support beyond symbolic gestures.
Community Empowerment
Building fundraising efforts led and supported by neighborhood and global communities.
Respect and Dignity
Centering the voices and lived experiences of the people we support in Gaza.
Inclusive Connection
