Living abroad but want to feed family or support a cause back home? You can send food rations to Lebanon in minutes — without shipping a single box. You order from wherever you are; Haydar & Karaali packs halal parcels from stock already inside Lebanon and delivers them locally on your behalf.
Why you shouldn't ship food yourself
Diaspora families used to fill suitcases and freight boxes. Today that means customs delays, spoilage risk, shipping costs that often exceed the food's value — and weeks of waiting. Ordering local fulfilment flips the model:
- No customs, no freight. The food never crosses a border; it is already here, in a distributor's stock.
- Faster. Days, not weeks — the parcel only has to travel the last mile.
- More food per dollar. Every dollar goes into staples at local wholesale cost, not into airfreight.
- Confirmed. We confirm each delivery back to you — see how delivery & confirmation works.
How to send rations from abroad
- Contact our team from any country — WhatsApp is fastest.
- Choose a single family ration, a monthly basket, or a bulk order for a charity you support.
- Tell us who it is for: your own relatives, a family we select, or a community your program serves.
- We pack halal staples — the full list is in what's inside a family food ration — deliver locally, and confirm it is done.
For your own family, or for families in need
Both are normal. Some senders support their own parents or siblings with a standing monthly basket; others give to families in need through our relief program, or fund parcels their mosque or charity distributes. If you're organizing group giving from abroad — a community collection, a Ramadan campaign — the bulk rations page shows how programs work at scale.
Seasonal giving
Demand peaks before the holy month, so plan Ramadan food parcels early — and Zakat can be fulfilled as food too, through Zakat food rations.
