Since the Syrian Uprising in March of 2011, many civilians fled to Jordan with nothing. Seeking shelter in a different country, many Syrians turned to Jordanian citizens and humanitarian aid for help. It has been four years and Syrian refugees, the vast majority being widows and orphans, have not been receiving the proper aid. As the part of Ummah , we should be doing our part in alleviating the suffering of our brothers and sisters.

We have the opportunity to collect various food items to feed 1,000 families. Helping Hand for Relief and Development in partnership with Islamic Society of Central Jersey plans on sending this food container to Jordan with YOUR help. The container will primarily benefit Syrian refugees, with a portion going to Palestinian Refugees and needy Jordanians living in harsh conditions.

Food items needed:
1) Rice 20 Lbs (1 Bag) - Great Value (Walmart Brand)
2) Pinto Beans 4 Lbs (2 Bags) - Great Value (Walmart Brand) OR Goya Beans (4 lbs as well)
3) Vegetable Oil 1 Gallon (1 Bottle) - Great Value (Walmart Brand)
4) Sugar 10 Lbs (1 Bag) - Great Value (Walmart Brand)
5) Flour 10 Lbs (1 Bag) - Gold Medal
