Ramadan Homeless Feed 2025

Salam friends and family!

Ramadan Mubarak, I want to introduce you all to our mission and our cause.

As some of you may know for the last few years we have been hosting an annual tradition with friends and family during our holy month which promotes care for our community, family, and friends.

Every year we organize food packages to be distributed around Downtown, Edmonton to the more vulnerable community in our city.

Each food package typically contains; a water bottle, snacks, fruit, and food.

After observing how our fasts affect our mood, energy levels, and causes us to reflect, this is just one of the initiatives we set up to make the change that we can in our city.

Every year however, due to growth in our homeless community’s population and inflation we try to reach a bigger goal so we can maximize our efforts and provide meals for as many people as we can! All donations go purely on assembling and creating the food packages. Buying groceries and paying our caterer.

There are plenty of hadiths and quotes passed down in Islam to support charity in what it does for us in this world and the next so please donate generously from what you can,

Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said: “When a man dies, his deeds come to an end except for three things: Sadaqah Jariyah (ceaseless charity); a knowledge which is beneficial, or a virtuous descendant who prays for him (for the deceased).”

It Protects You from Bad Fortune

Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said: “Give charity without delay, for it stands in the way of calamity.” (Al-Tirmidhi)

It Protects You During the Day of Judgment

Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said: “The believer’s shade on the Day of Resurrection will be his charity.” (Al-Tirmidhi)

We are asking for your help once again in sharing to spread the word and donating to help support our cause so that we may raise sufficient funds to be able to make our impact be as big as it can possibly be.

Volunteers are also needed every year. To stay posted on our venture you can follow @empathsempact on Instagram for more details coming on how we distribute, behind the scenes, dates and details, as well as how you can volunteer and be a part of it! May we all make the most of this Ramadan and have a true time of healing and peace within ourselves so we can be the best version of ourselves for our community as well.
