Let your kindness be the catalyst that transforms a simple meal into a celebration of hope and unity during the Holy Month.

Mercy Bakery, now established with 10 bakeries in the countries that have dire needs, provides free bread and food daily. Our growth is a testament to the unwavering support and generosity of people like you. Mercy Bakery doesn't just bake bread; it weaves a tapestry of community, care, and sustenance. By choosing to support our bakeries, you are not only addressing immediate hunger but also nurturing a future where no one breaks their fast in despair.

Join us in this sacred journey of giving, and together, let's ensure that the spirit of Ramadan lights up even the darkest corners.

Zakat Certified

As Ramadan heightens our awareness of those in need, it also brings the opportunity to fulfill one of Islam's core pillars: Zakat. Your donations to Mercy Bakery are not only acts of charity but also a fulfillment of your Zakat obligations. 

The Critical Situation: 

The reality in Pakistan, Yemen, Turkey, and Syria is a daily battle against hunger. While each country has its unique challenges, they share a common, urgent need for food security. This need becomes even more acute during Ramadan when the sacred act of fasting underscores the harshness of food scarcity. Our campaign aims to intervene in this critical situation, offering much-needed support and nourishment during this holy month.

Our Relief Missions For Combatting Food Scarcity:

Understanding the severity of hunger in Pakistan, Yemen, Turkey, and Syria, especially during Ramadan, our response is immediate and impactful. We don't just provide meals; we offer a lifeline during the holiest of months. Each donation is meticulously used to ensure that no individual, especially children and the elderly, are left without iftar. This Ramadan, your generosity is not just a contribution; it's a message of solidarity and hope in the face of adversity. Join us as we transform this critical situation into an opportunity for compassion and communal support.

In our quest to fight hunger, Mercy Bakery is determined to extend its reach. Each donation not only supports our existing operations but also fuels our ambition to establish new bakeries and kitchens in other areas plagued by food insecurity. Imagine the impact: more communities have access to fresh bread and warm meals every day. Your support is crucial in turning this vision into a reality, helping us bring relief and nourishment to even more families.

The Joy of Giving During Ramadan:

During this special time, your donation does more than provide food; it brings joy and a sense of belonging. We invite you to experience the fulfillment that comes from giving. Be part of a movement that not only feeds the hungry but also fosters unity and strengthens faith communities. Your gift, no matter the size, is a testament to the power of collective compassion and action.

Your Role in Lasting Change:

Your support for Mercy Bakery goes beyond Ramadan, contributing to a lasting solution against hunger. Every donation helps us build a resilient foundation in these communities, ensuring that our efforts in providing nourishment and hope continue throughout the year. This ongoing support creates a powerful ripple effect, nurturing future generations and reinforcing the bonds of community. Together, we are not just feeding the hungry; we are nurturing a sustainable cycle of care and compassion.

Standing For Gaza

When a humanitarian crisis hits, we immediately plan for a way to provide emergency aid no matter where it is needed. In partnership with Pious Projects and GiftingHumanity, we’re on the ground in Gaza where over 2 million people have no access to food and water. 100% of every donation you make directly goes to the people of Gaza. Your support means everything – food, water, hope

Along with emergency aid, we have been placing mini bakeries with bags of flour for as many families as possible to help alleviate the urgent need for food. This allows the people of Gaza to bake bread with each mini bakery only costing $100 and taking a day to construct. 
 

Providing Food For Our Local Communities

This year, we launched the Mercy Truck in our local community to provide Iftar to asylum seekers and the poor in the Streets of NYC and soon across the USA inshaAllah!

We aim to feed the fasting homeless and asylum seekers, bringing the same spirit of compassion and nourishment closer to home. While our efforts have spanned globally, the need within our own communities in the USA remains pressing.

Your support can help expand Mercy Truck’s mission beyond NYC, reaching every fasting individual in need across the nation. Together, let's answer the global call to fight hunger, providing dignity, hope, and nourishment one meal at a time.
