Let's Feed 10,000 Americans in need during Eid Al Adha.


What Are We Doing?

With your support, we are going to serve 10,000 Eid meals across the nation! We want to share the joy of Eid Al Adha with our fellow Americans regardless of their race or religion. We will be serving 10,000 Eid meals across the nation! From shelters and soup kitchens to prisons and community centers, delicious nutritious meals will be prepared for 10,000 people. 

Why Are We Doing It?

As we all know, the story of Eid Al Adha is a story of devotion and sacrifice. Many of you will entrust an organization to perform the Qurbani Sacrifice on your behalf to remind you of the need to submit to the will of Allah. This year, we are asking you to make an extra financial sacrifice to help us reach out to those in need. 

Did you know that 41 million Americans struggle with hunger? 

YES YOU READ THAT RIGHT. Right here in the US, millions of families go to bed without having had enough to eat. Though they often go hand in hand, poverty is just one of several issues tied to hunger. Unemployment, household assets and even demographics can also make it difficult to access the nutritious food people need to thrive. 


Where Are We Doing It? 

Charlotte, NC, 

Tampa, FL

DMV (DC – MD – VA) 

Houston, TX

New York City, NY

Track Record


This past Eid-Al-Fitr we spent over $35,000 on local programs throughout the country that were aimed at helping families in need. From FL and NC, to NY, TX, MD and VA, we were able to support over 300 families and 305 prisoners. As well as helping these families pay utility bills, and purchase essential household goods, we also distributed vouchers to food insecure families to enable them to partake in the joys of Eid. 




Each meal will cost us just $6. How many meals can you sponsor?

You Made An Impact!



You Made A Huge Difference
To you, the donor. Earlier this month you made the decision to donate your money to provide Eid meals for your fellow Americans. Along with 2500 others, you helped raise enough money to feed close to 7,000 people with meals for Eid! Donations for this campaign ranged anywhere from $0.71 to $6,000 – proving that there is no donation to small or too large to help make a difference. Thank you for being part of the Penny Appeal family.
 
The Impact of 7,000 Eid Meals Across America
On August 21, 2018 volunteers across 8 cities came together to feed Muslim Americans for Eid. Those who otherwise would sleep hungry on Eid were shown that they are part of a community that cares and refuses to see anyone in their community sleep with a hungry stomach. This campaign ignited a sense of comradery within the Muslim American community. We hope that the momentum that we’ve gained through this campaign lasts for years to come.
