ISLAMIC RELIEF’S DEDICATION TO FIGHTING HUNGER
A Sample of Islamic Relief Food Programs
Ramadan
Specifically designed to complement projects that provide sustainable ways to improve the quality of living of our brothers and sisters around the world, our Ramadan food program is a major part of our campaign to end hunger and poverty. In 2021, Islamic Relief was able to feed over 1 million people across Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and the US.
Qurbani/Udhiyah
Qurbani is our biggest single food-sharing program. For many people who receive this gift, it is the only meat they will eat all year. In 2021, you shared Qurbani with 823,383 people across the globe in countries across Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.
Hot Meals
As Islam teaches us, charity starts at home. Through our Hot Meals program, we’re working to alleviate food insecurity in major urban cities across the US. With your support, we’re able to reach vulnerable groups and communities whose food and nutrition security have been adversely affected by poverty.
Summer Food Service Program
We strive to increase access to food and support those struggling not only during the school year, but the summer as well. According to a report from the Food Research Action Center, only one in six students receive free or reduced-price meals over the summer. That’s why IRUSA is a proud supporter of the USDA’s Summer Food Service Program, a program dedicated to combat food insecurity by providing safe spaces for children in need to receive meals during their summer break. In 2021 alone, we provided 76,787 people with healthy, balanced meals.
