A day for Beirut. This Saturday, 15 August, come to Alserkal Avenue to support relief efforts for Lebanon. The Alserkal community will donate their proceeds, and Alserkal will match everything the community raises that day. We are also launching a drive to collect urgently-needed items in Warehouse 46, and will have a collection point for any spare change in A4 Space. There are many ways to help, and no action is too small. Swipe for more info. In partnership with Emirates Red Crescent (@emiratesrc) from the Lebanon Relief Fund.
