About the Ramadan Hunger Appeal
The Muslim Soup Kitchen Project (MSKP) and the Regional Food Bank have partnered together for the Muslim holy month of Ramadan to help alleviate hunger in our neighboring communities. During this time of fasting, please remember your hungry neighbors by donating the cost of meals not eaten to the Regional Food Bank’s Ramadan Hunger Appeal.
The Regional Food Bank provides $8- $10 worth of food for every dollar it spends, so any donation you make will feed many hungry people. The Regional Food Bank extends its deepest gratitude to all the Masjids and congregants that choose to support the Ramadan Hunger Appeal.
Thank you for helping us alleviate hunger… together.
The Food Bank collects large donations of food from the food industry and distributes it to food pantries, soup kitchens, and other agencies. In 2020, the Food Bank provided over 55 million pounds of food to over 1,000 member agencies in its service area, over 35% more than in 2019. It also actively works to increase awareness of hunger and poverty. The Food Bank is a responsible steward of its resources, providing $8- $10 worth of food for every dollar it spends.
“And they are those who give food…”
“And they are those who give food – in spite of their own need , to the needy, and the orphan, and the captive, [saying in their hearts], ’We only feed you for the sake of God, and we desire nothing in return from you, not even a word of thanks’ ” (Quran 76:8-9).
