For millions of families pushed out by war, drought and poverty, Ramadan shows up with the same question as every other month: will there be enough to eat? A fast that should close in gratitude too often closes in worry.
CBB Canada works with trusted local teams to change that. We cook fresh iftar meals where people gather to break their fast, and we hand out month-long parcels packed with the basics. Flour, rice, lentils, oil, dates and more. Enough to keep a household fed from the first night through to Eid.
Ramadan is also when many people give their Zakat, Fidya and Zakat al-Fitr. We handle each one properly and get it to eligible families in time, so your worship becomes a warm meal on a real family's table.
“Whoever feeds a fasting person earns the same reward as them, without lessening the faster's reward in the least.”

Donate $1,500How it works
From your intention to their iftar.
We start well before the crescent moon, so help lands on the first night and keeps coming until Eid.
Step 01
Identify
Local teams find the families who need it most — refugees, orphans, widows and the elderly — before Ramadan starts.
Step 02
Prepare
We stock parcels ahead of time and line up community kitchens, so meals are ready the moment fasting begins.
Step 03
Deliver
Hot iftar meals and food parcels reach families across all thirty days, including conflict zones that are hard to reach.
Step 04
Complete
Zakat al-Fitr goes out before Eid prayer, so every family can mark the day with dignity.

Common Questions
Questions we hear a lot.
When do the meals and parcels go out?
Distribution starts on the first day of Ramadan and runs through the month, with Zakat al-Fitr delivered before Eid prayer. We prepare ahead of time so help arrives on the very first night of fasting.
Can I give my Zakat al-Fitr or Fidya through this program?
Yes. Zakat al-Fitr is given for each member of your household before Eid, and Fidya is for anyone who can't fast because of illness or age. We work out the current value, keep the funds separate, and make sure both reach the right recipients on time.
Is my donation tax-deductible?
Yes. CBB Canada is a registered Canadian charity and issues official tax receipts for eligible donations, your Ramadan giving included.
Can I give in memory of a loved one?
Of course. Feeding a fasting family is a beautiful, lasting form of charity. Add a dedication at checkout and we'll honour it as your gift reaches a family this Ramadan.
