Muslim Aid Donate 10 Tonnes Of food To Help Homeless Londoners At Christmas

By


Muslim Aid in UK has donated 10 tonnes of food to help homeless people this Christmas.

An estimated 7,500 people attended a food drive at East London Mosque in order to make and collect donations. After they attended Friday Jummah volunteers gathered the supplies, which include rice, pasta, cereal, tinned goods and other items.

Donations came from local businesses, colleges, schools and universities.

The Chief Imam affirmed that ‘it is a religious duty for Muslims to try to help others, irrespective of a person’s faith or background’.

He said - 
Muslims are inspired by their faith towards helping others in need. It is a religious duty for Muslims to try to help others, irrespective of a person’s faith or background.
In the cold winter months when we have the luxury of a home and hot food, it’s easy to forget about others that are in dire need around us. So it is in that spirit, we take part in this big food drive.
On any given night, approximately 3,500 people sleep rough on streets in England and the number is increasing.

The number of people living on the streets in England grew at an “unprecedented” rate between 2015 and 2016, following a spike of around 30 per cent.

Argos and Tesco also donated to the food drive organized by Muslim Aid and the East London Mosque.

The food is now being distributed to food banks and shelters all over the UK.

In fact, after seeing images of the couple hanging off a 2,700 ft cliff in Rio, Brazil, it’s safe to say the couple pretty much break the mould when it comes to heights and being daredevils. Pereira took his girlfriend with him on his latest thrill seeking adventure, with Pedra de Gavea their conquest this time. The images really are breathtaking and depict just one of the many times Pereira has climbed the Pedra de Gavea. He claimed: "I love living on the edge! I know people think it’s dangerous and crazy but it makes me feel alive,’ Leonardo says. It is really high and I do just hang on using my arm strength. I have to trust myself not to fall." The literal translation of the rock’s name means ‘Rock of the Topsail’, and while the images certainly are something, given ...
