Fight hunger today with your donation.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said,“If a Muslim feeds a hungry Muslim, Allah will feed him from the fruits of Paradise on the Day of Judgment”.
OUR IMPACT
Despite being one of the richest countries in the world, millions of people in the United States still struggle with food insecurity, meaning they don’t have reliable access to enough food for a healthy and active life. According to Feeding America, the largest hunger relief organization in the country, around 42 million Americans, including 13 million children, are currently experiencing hunger.
Food pantries play a vital role in combating food insecurity by offering free or low-cost groceries to individuals and families in need. Many people depend on these food pantries to help stretch their monthly food budgets, especially during times of financial difficulty or crisis. These pantries are typically run by non-profits, churches, or community organizations, and they rely on food and monetary donations from the public to function.
While there are ongoing efforts to address food insecurity in the United States, food pantries continue to be an essential resource for those facing hunger.

How You can Help
Abu Sa’id Al-Khudri, who reported that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “Whoever of you sees an evil, let him change it with his hand; and if he is not able to do so, then [let him change it] with his tongue; and if he is not able to do so, then with his heart, and that is the weakest of faith.” (Sahih Muslim). It is our duty as Americans to help those in need. If we cannot volunteer our time to help physically, then donate, if we can’t donate then advocate! Spread the word about Basmah USA by starting a fundraiser in your local community to help those who are depending on our support.
