NWMI Gives Back

  • Loaves and Fishes 1525 Newton Street Northwest Washington, DC, 20010 United States (map)
“And they feed, for the love of Allah, the indigent, the orphan, and the captive...” — Qur'an 76:8

The Holy Month of Ramadan is the perfect time to reinvigorate our commitment to serving God through serving others! 

NWMI’s month of service kicks off at Loaves & Fishes Food Pantry in Washington, D.C., a nonprofit that distributes meals, groceries, and necessities (e.g. hygiene or baby items) to those in need. In 2021, almost one-third of recipients were children.

There are three ways you can serve (limited space on-site so sign-up is required):

  1. Donate! Your monetary gift will help purchase food and care package items. (This is a great way to get involved if you can’t make it to the Pantry!) Please donate here by March 15.

  2. Prepare Meals and Care Packages! Report to the Pantry at 8:30am sharp to get everything ready for the recipients (one hour).

  3. Distribute Meals and Care Packages! Arrive by 10:00am to help pass out food and hygiene items to those in need (two hours).

(Need a ride? Contact Zainab Khabir or Hayya Shah for carpooling options.)

We look forward to serving our neighbors alongside community members like you! (Minimum age requirement is ten years old.) Registration is required and space is limited. Register now!
