Event Details
This Ramadan, we are raising funds to create food baskets for our brothers and sisters in need within our communities. As we approach this blessed month, Sukoon Circle and Adams Youth are partnering with Nova Raft, Fresh Start Refugee, and Islamic Relief to provide essential supplies to 140 families in Alexandria, VA, where a large Afghan refugee population resides.
Your contributions will directly help feed these families during Ramadan, a time when food insecurity is especially high. Each package will include rice, dates, flour, vegetable oil, salt, beans, and more to support them throughout the month. Your donation will aid in enhancing the Islamic Relief food kits with the addition of meat!
Giving in charity, especially during Ramadan, holds immense reward. Zakah and Sadaqah purify our wealth and serve as a means of helping those who are struggling. The Prophet ﷺ reminded us that charity does not decrease wealth, but rather increases it in blessings. Allah (SWT) says in the Quran:
“The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is like a seed of grain that sprouts seven ears; in every ear there are a hundred grains. And Allah multiplies [the reward] for whom He wills. And Allah is All-Encompassing and Knowing.”
(Surah Al-Baqarah 2:261)
In addition to donations, there will be various volunteer opportunities, including making cards for families, unloading boxes, and assisting with distribution. Please consider donating and supporting those who are less fortunate.
May Allah bless you all in this world and the next. Jazakum Allahu Khayran.
Important: Please only sign up to volunteer if you are 100% certain you can commit, as we rely on our volunteers to ensure a smooth and efficient process.
