ICNA Relief Will Serve 25,000 Families Nationwide During The Month of Ramadan iCrowdNewswire Mar 8, 2024 12:30 PM ET The Ramadan Food Box distribution program seeks to address food insecurity and provide community members with spiritually fulfilling foods during the month of fasting. (New Hyde Park, NY, 03/08/2024) – On Friday, March 8th, ICNA Relief a major Muslim organization will begin its Ramadan. Food Box distribution across its network of 50+ food pantries in 42 states, reaching over 25,000 families. Ramadan, the month of fasting observed by Muslims worldwide, starts on the evening of Sunday, March 10th. With the cost of groceries skyrocketing nationwide, many families are facing moderate to severe rates of food insecurity, and evermore so Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits not keeping up with inflation. Access to nutritious food is a basic human right, yet more and more American families are struggling to put food on the table. For individuals who observe halal, the challenge is to find culturally important foods that meet their faith-based dietary guidelines. Research shows that there is a lack of access to halal options at food pantries, even in cities with a significant Muslim population, in major metropolitan areas such as New York City, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, Detroit, and Los Angeles to name a few. ICNA Relief is committed to addressing this gap and meeting the ongoing needs of members of the Muslim community and beyond by raising awareness of food and nutrition insecurity and its implications. The Food Box distribution will serve low-income, refugees, migrants, and other families in need during the upcoming month of fasting. The food boxes will include staple pantry items such as rice, flour, oil, and specialty foods traditionally consumed during Ramadan. The distribution is made possible through food and monetary donations from local communities across the U.S.  “Ramadan is a special time of year for Muslims, encouraging increased self-awareness, righteousness, and empathy so we can be more responsive to the needs of our neighbors,” says Zahid Hussain, Director of Hunger Prevention. “Currently, many families are struggling to put food on the table due to record high inflation, and we want to ensure that they have access to the culturally appropriate and spiritually fulfilling foods that they need to open their fasts. None of this is possible without our partners, volunteers, and donors, and we are very grateful to have them by our side.” For questions or interview requests, please contact Zahid Hussain, Director of Hunger Prevention: 214-298-5857, [email protected].
