Ramadan is the holy month of the Islamic calendar. It’s a month-long period of fasting, (3/10 to 4/9) followed by a feast day celebration that’s also a day of giving gifts and doing acts of kindness. For you Christians, you might think of like Lent, followed by Christmas Day! 😊 To acknowledge our local refugee community, many of whom are Muslim, our club will once again support the Ramadan Grocery Project this year. You can help:- Donate food (or money for food) to Cornelia who heads up the annual service project. You can find her on Venmo and PayPal. Deliver a completed gift bag.
Appropriate shopping items would include:
Reusable shopping bags – you can sometimes find these for $1
Basmati rice – India Market on Fairview has 10# bags
Olive oil – any size, any brand
Whole dates – These are usually in produce
Update: One last time to deliver groceries or money to Cornelia. Filled bags will be available for pick-up at Rotary on April 2. We have addresses for 23 deliveries.
