The Food Pantry was launched to cater to the needs of families going through financial hardships. We provide non perishable food items to the needy in our community,especially refugees. Alhamdulillah, this is only possible through the generous donations from our community. We need more people to donate regularly so we can ensure that everyone is taken care of. Please drop off your contributions, from the list provided, in the designated food bins at the Islamic Center of Morrisville. Giving and sharing with the needy is an important Islamic duty and we hope that everyone can make use of this opportunity as a Sadaqah Jariyah. If it is inconvenient for you to drop off groceries, you can always contribute money towards this cause.We serve the entire community irrespective of race, gender or religion.

Fidya & Kaffarah
Fidya: If one is not able to fast and is unable to make up the fasts before the next Ramadan due to long-term/chronic illness, old age or pregnancy, one must pay a compensation (Fidya) by feeding a poor person for every day of fasting not observed.
Kaffarah: Kaffarah is given if you deliberately miss or break a fast in the month of Ramadan without a valid reason. To make up for the missed or broken fast, you must fast continuously for 60 days, or feed 60 poor people.
Fidya and Kaffarah that is received will be used to feed the needy in the local community by providing them with food items. The price for Fidya changes every year,
and will be announced during Ramadan, depending on the cost of rations. Please use the designated envelopes to pay.
