Peacetober auction is OPEN for just 4 days
|
Hi Reader, It's the most wonderful time of the year (and the busiest!) for Coffees for Gaza volunteers. Our 2025 Peacetober art auction is now open!
You'll find a huge variety of items in this year's auction; we're so grateful to our creative and generous community for your contributions! Here's a little peek at what you'll find on the auction site: The auction comes at a critical time for the 25 family campaigns we are committed to assisting. Winter weather will soon be here, and so many of our families are living in tents (some of which need to be replaced). Most lack adequate warm weather clothing and blankets, and food and medical care are still quite expensive. Last year our auction raised $10,000. This year we've set a more ambitious goal of $15,000, and with your help we're confident we can reach it! These pictures are just a small sampling of the more than 250 items you'll find in the auction, including:
Here's the key information to know about the Peactober auction: BIDDING IS OPEN now through Thursday (13th of Nov). Bidding will close at the following local times: 🕒3 pm New York (Thursday) 🕗 8 pm London (Thursday) 🕙 10 pm Gaza (Thursday) 🕖 7 am Syndey (Friday) You are bidding in US dollars. Not sure how much your bid is in your local currency? Use a currency converter like this one. Before you place a bid, double check if the item ships to your location. For physical items, just below the picture and title of the item, you'll see whether it says "worldwide shipping" or specifies a particular place. If you're the winning bidder, a Coffees for Gaza volunteer will follow up with you within 2 weeks to give you instructions on which family campaign to donate your bid to. We'll also connect you with the artist who made your item so that they can get delivery info from you. Still have questions? Just hit reply and ask!

Hi Reader, When I first "met" Nourhan's family, it was through an Instagram video of her daughter Najat, then 4 years old, enthusiastically cooking in their tent. She had such a sweet and hopeful spirit, despite all the trauma that she, her mother, and her little brother Mohammed had been through. Over the last two years, I've lost count of how many times Nourhan and her children were displaced. They had several brushes with violence that were incredibly close calls. Through it all, Nourhan...

Hi Reader, Today I'd like to tell you more about one of our 25 families: Fadi, his wife Alaa, and their three daughters: Danya (age 13), Kinda (age 10), and Leen (age 7.)

Fadi worked for a large bank as a International Investment Consultant. Before the genocide began, Alaa was hoping to open a shop. During the war, they were displaced multiple...
