Every year, our team organises a community food drive: food packs are assembled by volunteers and delivered directly to families in need, hand to hand, with dignity.

What goes into a food pack

  • Rice, flour and cooking oil for a month
  • Dates, lentils and canned essentials
  • Tea, sugar and salt

Each pack costs around $10 to assemble and feeds a family for weeks. Every stage — purchasing, packing and distribution — is carried out by our own team and documented with photos.

Why direct distribution matters

The Prophet ﷺ said: "The best charity is that given when one is healthy and reluctant to part with wealth." We believe the second best is charity you can *see* — which is why every drive is photographed and reported here, so you know exactly where your giving goes.
