LACODE (Lebanese Association for Coexistence and Development – الجمعية اللبنانية للتعايش والإنماء), registered with the Ministry of Interior and Municipalities in 2014 (No. 942), has been among the main providers of meals to displaced households since the onset of the war against Lebanon in 2024.

Through its five community kitchens in the Bekaa, located in Zahle, Baalbeck, Hermel, Arsal, and Fakeha, LACODE provides healthy and sustainable meals to displaced families while employing more than 250 food handlers—mostly women. This work is carried out through partnerships with local and international NGOs such as World Central Kitchen, World Vision, Arc En Ciel, ACTED, Nusaned, the Lebanese Food Bank, and Beit El Baraka, among others.

Currently, LACODE serves more than 3,000 meals per day, with the capacity to scale up significantly. We count on your support to help us reach even more people in need across the Bekaa.
