Humanity First USA Launches Fast to Feed Campaign During the Month of Ramadan

BALTIMORE, April 27, 2020 (Newswire.com) - ​Humanity First USA (HFUSA) with the support of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community (AMC) is launching its Fast to Feed campaign during the month of Ramadan this year from April 25, 2020 through May 24, 2020. They will host a “National Donate a Lunch Day: COVID-19 Response” on May 5, 2020.

By fasting for over 14 hours a day in the month of Ramadan, all Muslims get a small taste of hunger thus giving many the realization of the pain endured by millions of starving human beings. However, unlike many who go on to enjoy their favorite foods after breaking their fast in the evening, millions do not have the luxury of even one meal a day. This is especially relevant in these unprecedented times with the spread of COVID-19. Many are hungry in America and would need your one lunch to survive a day in hunger.

With a vision to make America hunger-free, HFUSA's Food Security program seeks to reduce hunger and food wastage, provide food for communities, and raise awareness about food insecurity.

During Humanity Firsts Fast to Feed campaign and specifically on the 'National Donate a Lunch Day: COVID-19 Response' they are urging everyone to donate the value of one meal to fill a hungry stomach. Humanity First supporters from other faiths can also try to experience a day of fasting or skip a meal and donate the cost of that meal to feed children, parents, or elders who are suffering because of hunger in America during these dire times.

This Fast to Feed campaign is a part of the #HFweCare campaign, a direct response to COVID-19. The campaign will support many food pantries and soup kitchens across the US, and will also support many of their makeshift COVID-19 response pantries in several other cities in America and around the world.

Humanity First USA’s goal is to raise $100,000 during this campaign. Donations can be made at https://fundraise.humanityfirst.org/Fast2Feed2020. For more information and to donate, please visit usa.humanityfirst.org.
