Iftar Donations
Posted by Ayham on August 22, 2008 at 12:28 PM
InshaAllah, Ramadan's coming up in just a little more than a week, and like every year, we need people to sponsor iftars.
Some things to keep in mind:
1. The cost of each iftar is expected to be around $400 a night. Sponsors can donate the complete amount, or chip in for part of it.
2. People can also donate food either homemade or catered, but keep in mind that certain messy foods, like saalans and some desi liquidy deserts which are difficult to transport/store are not encouraged for obvious reasons. If catering, make sure that the food is delivered at least 5 - 10 minutes before iftar, but at the same time, it should not brought in hours early so that the food gets cold. The number of students expected to be attending each iftar is going to be about 75
3. If sponsors want to give cash/check or for any other questions they can contact:
Ayham Nahhas: 713-459-8782
Ahmed Abughazaleh: 214-235-3620
Muhammed Jehangir Khan: 469-877-7814
So get the word out to family/friends/community members/anyone else who will be interested in donating ASAP, and remember:
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "The believer's shade on the Day of Resurrection will be his charity." - Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 604
