Help IR OTU Sponsor Food Packs this Ramadan!

This Ramadan, join us in spreading joy and supporting families facing hunger around the world. More than 600 million people in Muslim-majority countries do not know where their next meal is coming from this Ramadan. Without regular healthy meals, children struggle to go to school, careers struggle to work, and communities are left battling to survive. Islamic Relief is providing families with essential food supplies for the month of Ramadan to ensure they can have the nutrition they need to start and end their fast. Our Ramadan food parcels ensure a family has enough food during the month of Ramadan, so they have the energy needed to make the most of the blessed month. The food parcels contain a variety of staple items, such as rice, lentils, cooking oil, dates, and more. These essentials empower families to enjoy Ramadan, free from worrying about how to feed their children. This year, Islamic Relief is aiming to provide Ramadan packs to over 1.1 million people in 32 countries. For only $150, you can provide a family with food for an entire month. In Islam, feeding the hungry is a highly rewarded act of worship. At Iftar time, Allah (SWT) shows special mercy and love to those who have been fasting, and especially to those who have provided food for others at Iftar time. The significance of providing Iftar for others is emphasized in the following Hadith: "Whoever helps break the fast of a fasting person will have the same reward as the one [who fasted] without decreasing anything from the reward of the fasting person."
