“The prices are skyrocketing, the housing is expensive, the food has become extremely expensive, and families are really struggling,” said Arma Omerhodzic, the finance director of the Bakarah Muslim Charity. “So, we feel like this is just some extra help during Ramadan just to help them.”
The group says it will be hosting additional events aimed at reducing food insecurity throughout the year.
