Lebanon has had a number of crises, including war, economic, and even political crises, which caused the state, its currency, and its economy to collapse.

Which led to several incidences of Lebanese drowning at sea and dying in the cold at the borders of nations that would not accept refugees, forcing many of them to flee to Western nations by whatever means possible. Additionally, as a result of this circumstance, Lebanon's middle class vanished, growing the number of the low class, who are now unable to support themselves.

The Good Meals Association was founded as a result of this, and it has now expanded to provide a number of other services in addition to securing meals for the neediest families.
