Help the Hungry - Markham Ramadan 2026

IDRF is a non-profit Canadian registered charity working with partners around the world and locally to facilitate relief and development programs that target vulnerable populations, helping to alleviate immediate and long term troubles.

Story

Help the Hungry, in partnership with the International Development and Relief Foundation (IDRF), provides urgent food and water assistance to vulnerable communities in Pakistan, India, and Palestine.

This Ramadan, your generosity can turn compassion into action and make a meaningful difference in the lives of countless families. As we reflect on gratitude and giving during this blessed month, we have the opportunity to support those struggling to access even their most basic needs.

The current focus is on supporting orphans, widows, the elderly, and those facing severe hardship. In Pakistan, India, and Palestine, many of these individuals are among the most marginalized in society. Ongoing political instability, conflict, natural disasters, and economic challenges have left families facing extreme food insecurity and limited access to clean water.

How Help The Hungry is Making a Difference

Through Help the Hungry, families receive nutritious food packages and safe drinking water, helping them meet their most urgent and essential needs. The program prioritizes remote and conflict-affected areas where resources are scarce and humanitarian aid is limited. Beyond immediate relief, this initiative reflects IDRF’s commitment to sustainable impact by raising awareness, strengthening global solidarity, and expanding support to other regions facing similar crises.

$100 – Zakat Food

Provides one family with enough food for an entire month.

$50 – Zakat Water

Provides one family with enough clean water for a month.

$15 – Fitrah

Every contribution, no matter the amount, brings hope, dignity, and relief to families in need during this blessed month and beyond.

Donations of $10 CAD or more will receive a tax-deductible receipt issued by IDRF.
