A dozen Bay Area restaurants are raising money to support children in Gaza by donating a portion of proceeds from their sales.
Lisa Ahmad, owner and chef of Mirchi Café in Fremont, said she felt compelled to help support the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, amid the Israel and Hamas conflict. Half of all proceeds from meals sold on Wednesday at her Fremont and Dublin locations will go to children on the ground in Gaza.
The first person to donate was a new customer named Diane who said she had been following the developments in Gaza and wanted to help.Jerome Cobert, a retired member of the Berkeley Police Department and Sonoma County Sheriff's Office, says the money raised will be used to buy additional safety supplies designed to help reservists best perform in the field.
The proceeds will go to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, along with Islamic Relief USA. A spokesperson for Islamic Relief USA told KTVU the money will be used to purchase supplies, medical aid, food, and clothes. The supplies will be sent in when the borders to Gaza are opened. The non-profit just received $11,000 on Tuesday from another restaurant, El Halal Amigos in San Jose.
