Coffees for Gaza

2026 Peacetober Auction: Our annual fundraiser is live! (November 9 to 13)

The Peacetober auction is our one big fundraiser of the year, and the proceeds go to our 25 families in Gaza who are trying to prepare for the harsh realities of another winter.

The auction comes at a critical time for the 25 family campaigns we are committed to assisting. This weekend torrential rains flooded many families' tents. Several of our families lost many or nearly all of their possessions. 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.

Here's a little peek of the more than 250 items you'll find on the auction site (click on image to go directly to its listing:
