“In the almost 10 years of working in Project Ramadan, I admire it’s unique ability to bring the community together to combat food insecurity right here at home. It’s so rare to be able to engage all ages, from kids to grandparents, in community work where you can see the direct impact on our own community here in Toronto. It’s the true definition of grassroots and I’m honoured to be a part of the team.”

“Joining Project Ramadan felt like a natural fit for me, as I’ve always been passionate about supporting those in need. What I love about PR is how it unites people to address issues like food insecurity in a meaningful way. Volunteering with PR has not only deepened my sense of purpose but also connected me with a community of like-minded individuals who share a commitment to making a real impact.”

Sadia
Executive Member
“I am a practicing social worker supporting vulnerable families in our community, and I see firsthand the challenges of meeting basic needs in today’s economy. I joined Project Ramadan to help address food insecurity and bring people together. What I love most about PR is the sense of purpose it creates—not just for those we support but for everyone involved. Volunteering with PR has shown me how small acts of kindness can lead to profound change, fostering hope and unity in our communities.”
