California Lebanese Ladies Organization Humanitarian Award Gala (Suspended)

Dear Friends,

I hope this message finds you well. As you know, we had to cancel and suspend the California Lebanese Ladies Organization’s annual fundraising gala on November 3rd, 2024.

The devastating war in Lebanon is impacting every part of society, including some of the most vulnerable — the elderly. Many of the homes for the elderly in Lebanon have been severely affected by the battle, and they are in urgent need of support to continue providing care and shelter during this difficult time.

Instead of the gala, we are asking for your help to raise funds to assist these homes, which serve as lifelines for Lebanon’s elderly population. Your generosity can make a real difference by providing essential resources like food, medical supplies, and safe shelter for those who need it most.

Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to ensuring these elderly homes can continue their vital work during this crisis. Your donation is also tax-deductible as allowed by law, making your gift impactful both for those in need and for you as a supporter.

Please donate today to support the elderly in Lebanon. Together, we can bring hope and comfort in these dark times. 

 With deepest gratitude and prayers,
California Lebanese Ladies Organization, Inc.

Our Mission & Purpose

The California Lebanese Ladies Organization (CLLO) is a non-profit public charity organization, in Glendale, CA.

The mission of the CLLO is to assist the homes of the elderly that offer a living to the less fortunate elderly throughout Lebanon. Those who are left without a home, without a family, and without any financial support.

The elderly centers are financially backed by religious institutions and donations from the community, a few organizations, and the government. Undoubtedly, the cost-of-living expenses exceed the donations. To conclude, because of its struggling economy, the Lebanese government stopped all financial aid to these centers. There is a colossal need to help the elderly. We hope to alleviate some of the suffering and help the elderly to have a dignified life.

To care for those who once cared for us is the highest honor.

Run By Volunteers

The California Lebanese Ladies Organization is run by volunteers, with no administration expenses, we deliver the cash in person to the senior centers.

Bringing Smiles Into Their Faces

Funds raised help to provide for the elderly and make their lives as comfortable as possible.  Their smiles let us know we are successful in bringing them comfort and joy. List of elderly homes together with your help have funded.

Thank You To All Our Supporters

The members of this organization are greatly influenced by the love and compassion for the elderly whereby a numerous number of them are left without the love of family, medical assistance, social security and often without a roof. There is an enormous need for our mission and although we are not able to provide them with a full dignified life but with your help we may bring a smile into their wrinkled face.
