Food Basics partners with Muslim organizations in Ontario to celebrate Ramadan

Who: Food Basics

What: The Metro-owned discount chain is partnering with three Muslim-based organizations to bring Ontarians together to celebrate Ramadan through food and shared experiences.

Food Basics will support the International Development and Relief Foundation (IDRF)’s Feeding the Community program, which works with food banks across the province to provide meals throughout Ramadan and beyond.

The grocer and IDRF are also connecting with two Ontario-based mosques—Waterloo Masjid and Muslim Neighbour Nexus—to ensure these communities have access to fresh and nutritious ingredients for their iftar meals. 

Through these partnerships, Food Basics will support over 700 Ontarians celebrating Ramadan. 

“We understand the deep significance Ramadan has for the Muslim community,” said Mo Hamoud, district manager at Food Basics, in a release. “In partnering with Muslim-based organizations who are making a difference across Ontario, our aim is to uplift the work that they do so more Ontarians can celebrate and share in the spirit of the holy month.”
