LEBNET NEWSLETTER Showing Up for Each Other and for Lebanon March 2026 |
|
|
We hope you and your loved ones are safe and out of harm’s way during these difficult times in Lebanon. In moments like these, we are reminded of something deeply important: the strength of a community lies in how it shows up for one another. Across the Lebanese diaspora, we continue to see that spirit come to life; through conversations, support, opportunities shared, and quiet acts of generosity that make a real difference. This is what LebNet has always stood for: a community that connects, uplifts, and creates impact, especially when it matters most. Throughout April, we are putting that into action. A group of LebNet members has generously committed to matching every new membership with a donation to the Lebanese Red Cross. It’s a simple but powerful idea:
By joining, you’re not only investing in your network, you’re also contributing directly to relief efforts supporting communities in Lebanon. If you’ve been considering becoming more involved with LebNet, this is a meaningful moment to take that step. To connect more deeply. To engage more actively. Be part of the LebNet community that continues to show up for one another and for Lebanon. |

Small Action, Real Impact |
Yasmina Malouf mobilized her network to raise over $8,000 for UNICEF Lebanon, showing how simple action can drive meaningful support. Follow her lead, every dollar you give is tripled through generous matching by LebNet and friends, amplifying your impact.
