In partnership with the Ottawa Muslim Association (OMA), BGC Ottawa offers Eid/Ramadan Hampers to support local f amilies in need.
We serve many Muslim families that do not have the resources to celebrate one of the most joyful times of the year: Eid. Eid al-Fitr ("the feast of breaking the fast") marks the end of Ramadan, a month-long fast for Muslims.
Eid al-Adha, translated to "feast of the sacrifice," celebrates the end of Muslims' annual pilgrimage to Mecca, also called the Hajj. Last year, the need for hampers during Ramadan & Eid far outpaced our supply.
Commit to putting smiles on families' faces by providing small luxuries, toiletries and food.
For some families in our community, the season of Ramadan/Eid can be financially challenging, creating stress and disappointment.
You can help change that.
Consider donating today and supporting families in need in our community.
All gifts up to $5,000 will be matched by our friends at the Ottawa Dragon Boat Foundation.
