RAMADAN FOOD DISTRIBUTION
During the holy month of Ramadan, we understand the increased need for food assistance within the community. Each year on Ramadan, we manage extensive food distribution programs. These programs are tailored to provide essential items that are traditionally consumed during the pre-dawn and sunset meals, known as Suhoor and Iftar, respectively. We ensure that families receive dates, grains, lentils, cooking oil, and other staples that are integral to the Ramadan experience.
Additionally, we collaborate with local communities to prepare and distribute Iftar meals for those who may not have the means to cook their own. These communal gatherings foster a sense of unity and support during this special time.
MEAT DISTRIBUTION ON EID AL-ADHA
Eid al-Adha, also known as the Festival of Sacrifice, is another significant religious holiday in the Islamic calendar. During this time, Muslims around the world commemorate the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son, and in its spirit, many families sacrifice an animal such as a goat, sheep, or cow.
Our charity plays a vital role in ensuring that families who may struggle to afford sacrificial animals can still participate in this tradition. We organise the distribution of meat from sacrificed animals to those in need, ensuring that they can enjoy the festive spirit of Eid and share in the blessings of this occasion.
These seasonal food programs are a testament to our commitment to not only meeting basic needs but also preserving and honouring the cultural and religious traditions of the communities we serve. Through these initiatives, we aim to alleviate hunger, strengthen community bonds, and spread joy during these special times.

Supporting our Livelihood Program is a fantastic initiative as it empowers Syrian communities to become self-sufficient, reducing their reliance on external aid. It's a sustainable, long-term approach to making a positive impact.
Feeding Families this Ramadan
