Muslim Welfare Canada (MWC) began as a small food bank serving the Scarborough community, with a mission to address food insecurity and provide essential resources to those in need. Over the years, the food bank program has expanded, adding locations in Mississauga, the Northwest Territories, and Nunavut. The Arctic Food Bank specifically focuses on supporting Indigenous communities in Northern Canada, where food insecurity is a growing concern.

Today, MWC continues to combat food insecurity and support vulnerable individuals through initiatives such as Meals on Wheels, Regent Park Lunch Services, and Halal Meals for Seniors. These programs reflect the compassion and service that Major Abbas and his wife instilled in the organization from the very beginning. In addition to food-focused programs, MWC runs a wide range of initiatives addressing other needs such as shelter, healthcare, and disaster relief, both domestically and internationally.
