Alhamdulillah, we are able to deliver food packages to many families. In order to keep up with the demands for food assistance, we regularly need to restock our shelves. We have many new refugees still arriving that need food, as well as families with disabilities that depend on food packages to be delivered. Our elderly community also receives so little in food stamps that they can’t sustain themselves on their very small allotment.
The Madinah Food Pantry Fall Food Drive will be from November 1st to December 15th.
