Help us provide Ramadan Food Baskets to 1,000 Refugee families before Eid ul Fitr!


Dedicate your Ramadan Giving to Refugee NeighborsHelp raise $50K for 1,000 Refugee Families by Eid al-Fitr

The Prophet ﷺ said, “That man is not from me who sleeps contentedly while his neighbor sleeps hungry.”

After going hungry all day long, you’re thankful to have a full table of delicious food to choose from when you break your fast. Sadly, many refugee and low-income families in our communities just hope they have enough food to do the same. Today, give them some peace of mind by providing them with a box of groceries to last them the whole month of Ramadan.

Revive The Legacy Of The Ansar!
They sacrificed for their brothers and sisters. They gave up everything!  
The Muhajirin greatly appreciated the good deeds of their Ansar brothers, and told the Prophet (s): "O Messenger of Allah, we have never seen anything like this people to whom we have come: if they have a little, they are still willing to help, and if they have plenty, they are most generous. They have supported us and shared their wealth with us, so much so that we feared that they would receive all the reward." The Prophet (s) said: no, not so long as you praise them and pray to Allah for them.'

FREE GIFT of home-made cookies made by a Refugee family we're helping comes with a contribution of $1,000 or above! See samples below!

Why It Matters

First Ramadan in America?!?!?
For many it may be their first Ramadan without being in their country, the first without majority of their family, the first ever being in America. They need you and your support to make it one they won't forget!
Current Reality In America
  • Over 42 million Americans live in food insecure households, about a third of whom are young children.
  • Nearly 30 million Americans still do not have health insurance and this number may increase.
  • In 2016, over 103 disasters, that were documented, took place in the US leaving thousands displaced and in immediate assistance. 
  • About 39,000 Muslim refugees entered the US in 2016 from countries like Syria, Burma, Iraq, and Somalia.

What do people say about ICNA Relief?

“ICNA Relief is a pride and joy of our community, because not only do they do dawah by educating people about what Islam is and what we believe, more importantly than that they show people what Islam is.That Islam is a religion of compassion, that Islam is a religion that believes in standing with the poor and serving the poor and the most downtrodden of those around us.” ~ Sr. Linda Sarsour

“ICNA Relief does a great job of domestically distributing the Zakat funds and charity on behalf of the Muslim community.” ~ Sh. Abdul Nasir Jangda

“I see that this organization and this branch of it is indeed interested in feeding the hungry, in helping the poor, in finding space for Widows and Orphans to live, in doing what our religion requires us to do.” ~ Sh. Yasir Qadhi

“I'm a student of ICNA Relief Alhamdulillah. ICNA Relief is my heart and soul, ICNA Relief contributed to making me who I am today as a person. I owe this organization so much..."” ~ Imam Omar Suleiman
