The Driving Hunger Away During Ramadan initiative will feed at least 200 people a day at community spaces for 30 days from the beginning of Ramadan on February 18th to March 19th.
Over the 30-day period, 7,600 people will be fed. According to reports, more than 485,000 Philadelphia residents have seen their food assistance reduced as pandemic-era extension of SNAP benefits expired in 2023.
The initiative is a partnership between Senator Sharif Street and Philabundance.
"Ramadan is a time of reflection, compassion, and service to others, and this initiative embodies those values by ensuring that thousands of our neighbors have access to nutritious meals," Street said.
