Insha Allah, in preparation for the blessed month of Ramadan, we are starting our food drive early.

Our pre Ramadan food drive will begin February thru the first week of March.

In this way, our pantry will be filled and better able to assist families in need. Alhamdullillah, Madinah Food Pantry delivers food year around to Muslim families in need and some items are very quickly depleted upon donation.

Please see our list of items most needed. If you are able to donate, please contact us at  This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.  or through our website at www.madinahfoodpantry.org/.

Insha’Allah, we can also accept cash donations that will go towards food purchases through PayPal on our website. Thank you for all of your help. May Allah reward you all.
