Because the coronavirus has made it impossible to hold community iftars during Ramadan, the Philadelphia Ramadan and Eid Fund distributed boxes of produce and halal meats at the Philadelphia Masjid in West Philly on Friday, May 1, 2020. The food distribution was hosted in partnership with Share Food program, which donated all the produce, as well as Muslims Serve, Keystone First, and local elected leaders.

Community iftars and prayers are not being held this year due to the coronavirus, so members of the Muslim community are finding other ways to give back during the holy month of Ramadan.
