✨🌙 Eid Mubarak from the Philadelphia Ramadan & Eid Fund! 🌙✨
Wishing you and your loved ones a blessed and joyful Eid al-Adha.

It was our absolute honor to help so many local families prepare for the holiday this year. Thanks to a beautiful collective effort, we were able to purchase Eid attire, fulfill Amazon wishlists, and share hot meals and groceries across our community. We are also happy to support the Eid al-Adha festivities for our partners at The Philadelphia Masjid! 🕌✨

Our commitment to standing by our neighbors and making sure everyone can celebrate with dignity and joy is what drives us every day.

To our incredible sponsors and volunteers: thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We truly couldn’t do this work without your generosity and hands-on dedication. You made this possible! ❤️

Have a beautiful and peaceful Eid.

We are overwhelmed with gratitude for the incredible generosity and spirit our community has shown this season. Your support directly fuels the impactful work we do together. We are deeply proud of the many initiatives currently underway in service to our community, which include:

Civic Traditions: Hosting our Inaugural City Hall Eid Dinner, our signature City Hall Iftar Dinners, and our Eid in the Park Festivals. These events have become driving forces in our community, bringing thousands of Philadelphians together in celebration and unity.

Youth & Education: We are currently gearing up for our Spring and Fall Afterschool Programs, which empower our youth through financial literacy, civic education, and cultural competency. This year we partnered with Al Aqsa Islamic Academy, supporting their Eid Al Fitr celebration and providing gifts to their 1st- and 2nd-grade students.

University & Healthcare Partnerships: Collaborating with the Drexel Muslim Student Association to co-sponsor toy drives for Muslim children hospitalized at CHOP, and sponsoring Iftars for the Temple Muslim Student Association and Temple Muslim Medical Students.

The PREF Giving Circle: Ensuring no one is left behind during the holidays by outfitting entire families for Eid through our partnership with Tooba Bookstore and Fashions, fulfilling Amazon wish lists, and providing comprehensive family meals.

Meals on Wheels & Family Fun Program: Launched during the 2020 pandemic, this program continues to bring Eid celebrations directly to the doorsteps of those in need.

Compassionate Outreach: Partnering with the Elevation Project for “Iftar Beyond the Walls” at the Philadelphia Industrial Correctional Center, extending our reach and support to the most vulnerable members of our community.

Thank you once again! We look forward to continuing this vital work alongside you!
