Daily News | Free Ramadan meals in Philadelphia from Philabundance
The initiative aims to feed at least 200 people a day at different community spaces throughout the city from the beginning of Ramadan on March 22 through April 20, with the goal of feeding 6,000 Philadelphians. The meals for the first two weeks will be dairy-free boxes of chicken curry with rice, stuffed salmon with rice and spinach, and vegetable curry with rice.
“Unable to fast during Ramadan due to the heightened risk of COVID-19, practicing Muslims in the Philadelphia community, in line with their faith, chose to recognize the holy month by giving back and feeding anyone in need,” Street said. “The response of volunteers, along with those in need, was so overwhelming that we chose to make this an annual event.”
