We are helping to tackle poverty in Glasgow. We identified those most in need as well as channels through which we can help. We initially appealed for both one-off and regular donations from the Muslim community and were overwhelmed by the response. The result was monthly standing orders as well as weekly donations of cooked food and fresh fruit. We have learned that most Muslim asylum seekers and refugees have limited or no access to halal meat and fresh produce. Through the support of the Muslims of Glasgow, the anti-poverty initiative provides over 350 weekly food packs to the asylum seekers and refugees . Every Sunday our volunteers distribute food parcels to destitute asylum seekers and refugees.
