To meet the basic physical and emotional needs of the community within an Islamic context.
Donations
Islamic Family and Social Services Association is hoping to raise an estimated $30,000 this year from fundraising initiatives. The money raised will be going to provide essential needs services and to support other objectives of the organization. It will cost our organization an estimated $2,000 to organize these fundraising initiatives.
Food Donations
IFSSA is proud to be the only social service organization in the city of Edmonton which provides a completely Halal food to all of its clients. Halal is the Arabic word for permissible. In order for food to meet the this Islamic dietary criteria, meat products are slaughtered according to Islamic guidelines and food must be free of alcohol and pork products/by-products. This does not exclude anyone from eating the food but rather is a service that we feel is necessary for those people in need who are Muslim. IFSSA offers its foodbank to all those in need regardless of race, gender or religious affiliation.
The following is a list of most needed food items. Please donate generously.
