Ramadan Food Distribution to the needy
Donation protected
My name is Lisa Sarabi, and I'm the founder of Helping Families Monthly, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that helps families with immediate assistance. This Ramadan our main focus is to provide as many families as possible (focusing on the orphans, widows, handicap, and the less fortunate) with Ramadan food packages (such as rice, flour, oil) that feed them for a whole month. Last year in 2023 we solely focused on food distribution to the needy and raised $8784, which provided 142 families with food distribution, 14 children & 6 adults with Eid cloths, and 40 people with meat. In 2021 and 2022, we partnered with AWC to provide poor & needy families with food distribution AND iftar meals.
In 2022 we raised over $10K in funds and provided the following:
422 families with food distribution
225 people with Eid clothes (including children)
Iftari meals for 8,000 people
$250 for an orphanage of 70 children
10 families with Eid food items
This year our goal is to raise $12000 to feed & help more poor families. This year we will be focusing on distributing food, and towards the end of Ramadan, we will be focusing on Eid clothes. If we get more donations, we will provide iftar meals.
Note: All packages include administration fees (i.e transportation costs).
