Every family should be able to sit down to a meal without wondering how they will afford the next one.
But for families living through poverty, displacement, rising food prices and emergencies, keeping enough food at home can become a daily struggle.
$120 can provide a family with essential food supplies for approximately one month, helping parents prepare regular meals and giving the household some relief from the constant pressure of finding enough to eat.
Hunger does not always begin with an empty plate.
It can begin with smaller portions.
One less meal each day. Meat, vegetables and other nutritious foods disappearing from the shopping list. Parents eating less so there is enough for their children.
As food prices rise or household income disappears, families are forced to make difficult choices about what they can go without.
A food pack helps ease that pressure by putting essential ingredients back into the home.
Provide essential food supplies for one family for approximately one month.
Provide approximately one month of food support for five families.
Help ten families keep food on the table for approximately one month.
Our food packs contain practical staples families can use to prepare meals at home.
Contents vary according to the country and local diet, but can include:
Food is selected according to local diets and availability, so families receive ingredients that are familiar and useful in their own kitchens.
One food pack provides more than a single meal. It gives a family ingredients they can use throughout the month.
When there is enough food at home, a parent knows what they can cook that evening.
They know there is something available for the children tomorrow.
They do not have to stretch the last handful of rice across another day or decide which meal can be skipped.
That certainty matters.
Providing a family with a month of food does not solve every challenge they face. But it removes one immediate pressure and helps make sure food is there when they need it.
Families can struggle to afford food for many reasons.
Displacement can separate people from their homes, jobs, farmland and usual sources of food.
Rising prices can make basic groceries unaffordable even for households that previously managed to get by.
Droughts and floods can destroy crops, livestock and local food supplies.
Poverty and lost income can leave families with too little money after rent, healthcare and other essential expenses.
Often, several of these pressures happen at once.
Food assistance helps families meet an immediate need while they navigate circumstances largely outside their control.
Islam repeatedly calls us to feed others and pay attention to the hunger around us.
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:
“He is not a believer whose stomach is filled while the neighbour to his side goes hungry.”
Al-Adab Al-Mufrad
