Food Drive Sept 4th At Devonshire Mall

THE COMMUNITY NEEDS OUR HELP!

In cooperation with Devonshire Mall and Real Canadian Wholesale Club, the Muslim Community of Windsor is hosting a Food Drive at Devonshire Mall on Saturday, September 4th from 12pm to 5pm.


The Muslim Community of Windsor is offering to purchase the items for people in need for $20 in order to donate (reusable) bags full of food and toiletries, or people can bring in the 12 items themselves to be packaged by volunteers at the mall that day.

For those who would like to donate physical items, the following 12 items are recommended: Pasta, Pasta Sauce, Flour, Sugar, Salt, Cooking Oil, One Can of Fruit, One Can of Vegetables, One Can of Soup, One Box of Rice, One Tube of Toothpaste, One bar of Soap

This year, the food bank recipients include Downtown Mission, Windsor Homes Coalition, Unemployed Help Centre, Drouillard Place, Well-Come Centre, and others of the like.

Muslim children will be sharing their happiness of the upcoming Eid ul-Fitr holiday, that commemorates the end of another successful month of fasting Ramadan. There will be treats, balloons, popcorn, clowns, face painting and flowers all in celebration of Eid. The weekend will be a busy shopping weekend for Muslims, preparing themselves for Eid by purchasing new clothes and gifts for loved ones.
