Make a Difference with Food Packs
Provide essential relief to those in need. Your support transforms lives through practical, direct aid.
Food packs are a lifeline for many families, especially those in impoverished areas or experiencing crisis situations. These packs are designed to sustain a family with the necessary staples that many of us take for granted. By contributing to our Food Pack Appeal, you're not just sending food; you're sending hope and stability to families who face the daily challenge of food insecurity.
Our food packs include a variety of nutritious items such as rice, flour, cooking oil, lentils, salt, and sugar. This assortment ensures that families receive the energy and nutrition needed to sustain themselves. Every pack is thoughtfully put together, keeping in mind the dietary needs and cultural preferences of the recipients. Your donation ensures that these essential items reach those who need them most, at a time when they need it the most.
Prophet (saw) mentioned the food of Jannah as a specific reward of feeding the poor, saying: 'Whichever believer feeds a hungry believer, Allah feeds him from the fruits of Paradise on the Day of Resurrection…' [Tirmidhi]
In addition to providing immediate relief, your support helps to stabilize families. Parents can focus more on providing for their children in other ways, such as education and healthcare, rather than worrying about their next meal. This support is crucial as it helps break the cycle of poverty that traps many families, giving them a better chance at a brighter future.
By joining our Food Pack Appeal, you contribute to a broader effort of community building and resilience. Your generosity not only fills stomachs but also fosters a sense of community and mutual support among recipients. This is about more than just food; it's about empowering communities to rise together, bolstering them against future challenges.

The Journey of Hope and Relief
Abdul Sattar Edhi
Founder Profile
Born in 1928 in the small village of Bantva near Joona Garh, Gujrat (India), Abdul Sattar Edhi's journey of compassion began with the seeds planted in his soul during his mother's illness. At the age of eleven, when his mother became paralyzed and later suffered from mental illness, Edhi devoted himself to her care. He undertook the responsibilities of cleaning, bathing, changing clothes, and feeding her. Despite his efforts, the battle against the disease proved to be challenging, and his mother's helplessness grew over the years. This early experience shaped Edhi's lifelong commitment to alleviating the suffering of humanity.

He sat on the street and asked for donations not for himself but to help people in greater need. “I begged. And people gave,” he said.
