RamadanMealsTO - Iftaar Program

Donation protected

May 10 Update:  Alhamdullilah, with your generous support, we have been able to provide 2060 meals and 108 dry and produce baskets in the first two weeks of Ramadan. The program is running at full capacity as we are experiencing a huge need across the GTA.

Assalamualaikum Wa Rahmatul'Allahi Wa Barakatuh (Greetings, may peace be upon you), 

The blessed month of Ramadan has started. Usually, it is a time for gathering, prayers, fasting and peace. Local mosques would prepare and serve fresh halal meals to community members and those who may be in need, daily. 

With COVID19 and strict public health measures in place, all mosques have remained closed.

In addition, many of our neighbours and vulnerable populations are following public health orders to stay safe and practice physical distancing. Frontline workers continue to put it all on the line for our communities health, safety and well being.

With the support from community members and local groups (see partners below), RamadanMealsTO  is coordinating with the Muslim Community of Downtown Toronto - Omar Bin Khatab to raise money and distribute halal cooked meals and food baskets to those in need. 

Update:  Alhamdullilah, in the first week of Ramadan, we have been able to provide 567 meals and 40 food baskets. The program is running at full capacity as there is a huge need across the GTA. We need your help. The more support we receive in donations, the more Ramadan meals and food baskets we can give out.
