Since the Syrian Uprising in March of 2011, many civilians fled to Lebanon with nothing. Seeking shelter in a different country, many Syrians turned to Lebanese citizens and humanitarian aid for help. It has been five 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 750 families. Helping Hand for Relief and Development in partnership with the Islamic Center Greensboro plans on sending this food container to Lebanon with YOUR help. The container will primarily benefit Syrian refugees for Ramadan..

Food items needed:
RICE 20 LBS - Great Value (Walmart Brand) or Riceland
SPAGHETTI 2/4 LBS - Great Value (Walmart Brand) or Barilla
WHITE BEANS 8 LBS - Great Value (Walmart Brand) or Goya
VEGETABLE/CANOLA OIL 1 GAL - Great Value (Walmart Brand) or Crisco
