HFIC encourages supporting food banks to help feeding poor and needy.
There are a number of food banks that require halal food, especially meat, to distribute to Muslim families throughout the year. We urge the readers and all halal industry stakeholders to try and facilitate the support that those food banks needed. This can be done in a variety of ways:
- donating meat and grocery items monthly/regularly out of your own shopping baskets
- donating your Aqiqah and Qurbani meat
- donating some food catered for weddings, parties, events
Below is a list of food banks that are actively distributing halal meat/food to people in need:
