Project Ramadan

GoFundMe Canada is organizing this fundraiser to benefit Muslim Welfare Centre of Toronto.

Project Ramadan is an initiative of Muslim Welfare Canada dedicated to providing support to local families in need through fundraising and assembling food baskets.

Through key partnerships with organizations such as food banks, women’s shelters and First Nations communities, we distribute baskets to families regardless of their race, religion or nationality. Enthusiastic volunteers come from across the Greater Toronto, Hamilton and Ottawa areas and band together to make this initiative possible.

How We Started

Project Ramadan was created in 2009 by a group of young adults

who found themselves concerned about the food disparity within

their local community. Through the kind donations of people like

you, Project Ramadan has raised over $3.1M, and distributed

over 100K bags since its inception.

How It Works

1. RAISE MONEY

Our mission relies on the support of donors and sponsors to help fund our program. Project Ramadan is 100% volunteer-run, which means your dollars go directly to families in need.

2. BUY SUPPLIES

Your donations are used to buy the goods at wholesale prices - we work closely and negotiate with suppliers so that baskets retailing for $100+ only cost our donors $70. We can’t do what we do without the love and support of our awesome sponsors and in-kind donors.

3. BUILD

We host several builds across the GTA, Ottawa and Arctic each year, where hundreds of volunteers come together to assemble food baskets to be distributed to our beneficiaries.

4. DISTRIBUTE

Through key partnerships with organizations such as food banks, community centres, women’s shelters and First Nations communities, we distribute baskets

to families facing food insecurity across Canada.
