MWC’s Project Ramadan is 100% volunteer-run, which means your dollars go far in helping feed the need
Your donations are used to buy the goods at wholesale, and we also negotiate with suppliers so that baskets retailing for $100+ only cost our donors $60. We can’t do what we do without the love and support of our awesome sponsors.
This year we are back to hosting several builds across the GTA (and Ottawa), where hundreds of volunteers come together for a few hours of packing food baskets for our beneficiaries. Join us and we’ll build baskets and get those baskets delivered to those in need.
Through key partnerships with organizations such as food banks, women’s shelters and reserves, we distribute baskets to families regardless of their race, religion or nationality. To date, Project Ramadan has donated over 36,000 baskets to families in need!
