Ramadan Food Drive 2023
Each year hundreds of thousands of Canadians need emergency food support, and now many more Canadians have been impacted in different ways. Food banks and other charities are currently dealing with food shortages, increasing client numbers, and other new challenges.
During the month of Ramadan March 22 - April 21 2023, Ismaili CIVIC will be partnering with various grocers and other organizations across the country to engage the public at large in donating newly purchased food items to various regional food banks.
