Project Ramadan’s mission is simple: we fundraise, assemble, and distribute baskets containing staple food items to families faced with food insecurity. Our goal is to help limit the number of families that are experiencing food scarcity by providing them staple food items that should last them approximately one month. Project Ramadan is an initiative dedicated to combating food insecurity across Ontario regardless of race, religion, or ethnicity.

Please join us to kick off the 2021 Project Ramadan Campaign as we celebrate Hope, Resilience & Community with our very first virtual fundraiser. *Only one Virtual ticket purchase required per household*

Through these unprecedented times Hope, Resilience and Community have kept us all hanging on. As Ramadan approaches, we are truly blessed that we are still able to virtually connect.

We have brought together an array of talent from across the globe which include Ustadha Yasmin Mogahed, Hoodoo Hersi & Khalid Siddiq, hosted by the one and only Mark "Strizzzy" Strong, the in-arena host of the Toronto Raptors.

We have also partnered up with Halal Meals Toronto to bring you that “fundraising” dinner experience in the comfort of your own home. We have got you covered with a menu consisting of Beef Biryani, Chicken Alfredo Pasta and a South Western Rice Bowl for our plant-based friends...

This year with raising food prices, the cost of a basket to help a family for approximately 1-month is $60.00. We want you to know that proceeds from this event will be used to help support families in need!

Get your tickets before they're gone! We can’t wait to see you!

In his late teens, he was involved in the mainstream music industry and was on the verge of signing to British record labels. But Allah had different plans for him. At age 19, he fully embraced his faith, Islam, and has never turned back. In July 2015, he started a Youtube channel, in which he could express himself and his abilities as an artist. Since then he has accumulated over 270,000 Youtube subscribers, 40 million+ views and tours the world. Today, Khaled Siddiq is one of the most recognized Muslim artists across the globe. He combines an array of skills into his portfolio making him one of the most diverse and talented Muslims today. A proud Muslim of Jamaican, Irish & Scottish heritage, he believes that providing others with ethical entertainment and dispelling stereotypes about his faith has always been his calling.
