Ramadan Food Packs

The power of food: How a Ramadan food parcel can change a life

Imagine waking up every morning worried where the next meal is going to come from for you and your family? Imagine going to bed hungry every single night having barely eaten that day? Imagine watching your child cry out from hunger?

This is sadly the reality for the 821 million people who go hungry each and every day in some of the world’s poorest communities.

Food is a basic necessity for survival and also the key to a healthy life. Without regular healthy meals children struggle to go to school, carers struggle to work and communities are left battling to survive.

This Ramadan, Islamic Relief is providing families with urgent food to ensure they are able to have iftar with a nutritious meal. Our Ramadan food packs ensure a family has enough food during the month of Ramadan.

The reward of feeding the fasting in Ramadan 

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 emphasised in the following Hadith:
