Project Ramadan 2021
Data shows that 1 in 8 Canadians experience food insecurity, and with Covid-19, this number is now set to increase.*
This Ramadan 2021, let's fight hunger across Canada together.

How Project Ramadan Works
BUYSUPPLIES
Your donations are used to buy the goods at wholesale, and we also negotiate with suppliers so that baskets retailing for $80+ only cost our donors $50. We can’t do what we do without the love and support of our awesome sponsors.
RAISE MONEY
MWC’s Project Ramadan is 100% volunteer-run, which means your dollars go far in helping feed the need.
DELIVER BASKETS
Normally, we host several builds across the GTA (and Ottawa), where hundreds of volunteers come together for a few hours of packing food baskets for our beneficiaries. This year, due to COVID-19 - we've had a slight change in plans, but worry less - we'll ensure that the food baskets are delivered to those in need.
How You Help The Cause.
Deliver Baskets. Deliver Hope. Make a Difference.
Each year, hundreds of volunteers come together to make baskets, make friends, and above all, make a difference. This year, we're doing things a little differently.
One-Month Supply of Food
Because of our generous sponsors and your donations, we generally manage to secure supplies for the baskets at a reasonable price, often lower than suggested retail prices.
Our average basket includes: chickpeas, dates, flour, honey, beans, oil, lentils, pasta, pasta sauce, rice, salt, sugar, tea, tuna.
