Madinah Food Pantry & Family Services Pre-

Ramadhan Food Drive 2019

Insha’Allah, in preparation for the blessed month of Ramadhan we are starting our food
drive early so our pantry will be filled and better able to assist families in need. Alhamdullilah,
Madinah Food Pantry delivers food year around to Muslim families in need and some items are
very quickly depleted once they are donated. Please see our list of items most needed and if you
are able to donate, please contact us at ummisix@gmail.com or through our website:
www.madinahfoodpantry.org. Insha’Allah, we can also accept cash donations that will go
towards food purchases through PayPal on our website.
