By the grace of Allah(SWT), Ramadan is here. During Ramadan, we refocus our hearts on Allah, showing our gratitude for His bounty through caring and generosity.
While we fast, we are connected to all those who hunger. Millions living in poverty must fast every day: Syrians, Burmese, Central African refugees, Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, and many others.
With the help of Allah and your generosity, Zakat Foundation of America can deliver food packages, serve warm Iftars and bring joy to the hearts of children with an Eid gift in more than 40 countries, including USA and Canada.
