COVID-19 & DawaNet’s HalalServe Food Bank
Donation protected
What if you Depended on a Food Bank for your Next Meal?
During these difficult times of increased fear and uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, it is easy to worry about ourselves and our families, stockpiling food & essential supplies in preparation for the worst possible, all whilst forgetting the needy, sick and vulnerable in our own neighborhoods.
The unsettling reality is that many in our neighborhoods and communities do actually depend on a Food Bank for their daily meals. At least 1 out of every 8 Canadian Households faces some form of food insecurity, with more than half of these households consisting of single-income, single-person, the elderly and those living with disabilities. And these numbers are only expected to grow due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, making it hard for those already underprivileged to afford essentials like groceries.
DawaNet’s HalalServe Food Bank is an important community initiative that provides free bi-weekly Food Baskets to needy & persistently poor families in the Mississauga (Ontario, Canada) area, also offering home delivery to those with limited mobility. Typical baskets include an assortment of fresh produce, fruit, rice/ lentils & legumes, pasta, cereals, fresh milk & eggs, Halal meats, snacks and other healthy food items.
DawaNet would like to remind everyone to be patient, stay optimistic, take the necessary precautions to help protect yourselves and your loved ones against all harm, but to also not forget about HalalServe that provides essential food assistance to the most vulnerable in our local communities.
During COVID-19, please help HalalServe ensure:
Our existing clients continue to receive the basic bi-weekly food assistance we provide them, and
Any additional needy individuals and families in the Mississauga area can be provided assistance via our Urgent Food Assistance program.
Remember, charity given sincerely never decreases wealth. Rather, it helps to increase the blessings in our wealth, and helps ward off misfortunes. Read more.
