Ramadan is a time of worship, gratitude, and giving back.  While millions of Muslims all over the world fast from food and drink during the day, eating a nice meal at the end of the day, much of our ummah (people), unfortunately, does not have a nice meal, if any, to look forward to at the end of each day. The average family in Afghanistan is unable to meet its needs, lacking food, clean water, and reasonable shelter.  

Let’s help provide a little extra during this special month, making sure all families can enjoy a warm meal at iftar (evening meal to break their fast) and enough nourishment to keep them healthy.  With food prices continuously rising during a time of high economic instability and lack of work, families are unable to afford stable food items.  

A Ramadan Food Basket consists of basic supplies such as flour, oil, rice, lentils, and salt, and will often include dates and tea to bring comfort.  Make this Ramadan a little more special for an orphan family and their widow mom, for a disabled young man unable to take care of his family, for the elderly, and for the needy.  For just $50, you can bring a smile and comfort to these families. 

Imagine the reward: Our Prophet (peace and blessing be on him) said “Whoever feeds a fasting person will have a reward similar to the fasting person.”  Let’s give of ourselves this Ramadan.  This program is zakat-eligible.
