Food & Clothing Donation Drive

Muslim Families Network Society or short for MFNS is an organization in Calgary which is tirelessly working to provide various means of support to Calgarians. This includes youth empowering programs, Programs to bridge gaps between cultures, leadership programs, learn and live Quran, and programs on social issues and food bank. Tri-Annual Drive Other than the programs mentioned above, this organization continuously helps people with their weekly and tri-annual food and clothing drive. There are lot of Calgarians who need regular help in food, clothing and household items but with the influx of refuges this need had become more regular. Usually, it takes more than a year to get an immigrant onto their feet and it may take longer for those whose language skills needs improvement. MFNS has more than 600 registered families who need help in one way or another. This also includes people who need permanent or temporary help. There is also continuous need to help single, poor or abused women and children, and MFNS makes sure to help to those too. For food and clothing, they have 3 city wide food drives every year and their food bank serves many families every week. Every year in Ramadan, they arrange an iftar for single women, where they raise funds for helping women in need. There is a need in the community to help people suffering from poverty or abuse. This year like the past year their second annual Ramadan food drive happened on May 19t.h. More than 400 families were served at the drive that day with basic food and clothing, books, household items and much more. Their next and 3rd outreach will be in November.
