Hunger is a tragic fact of life for millions of people around the world, a crisis that affects every single country on the planet. And it is a crisis that each of us can address by giving what we can, and easing hunger wherever we find it. That is the mission of Embrace Relief’s International Hunger Relief: Qurbani campaign.
During this holy time of sacrifice and sharing with those less fortunate, we will be distributing meat packages to tens of thousands of families around the world. When you donate your Qurbani with Embrace Relief, together we are making a critical difference in easing the hunger of families everywhere. In 2024 alone, the generosity of donors like you allowed Embrace Relief to make our greatest Qurbani impact yet, delivering meat packages to more than 165,000 people in 21 countries spanning five continents.
Embrace Relief accepts Qurbani donations year-round, and you can be assured that your gift will provide nutritious meat to families around the world in their time of need. Each Qurbani donation is distributed among eight families; for many, this will be their only opportunity to access fresh, nutritious meat this year. That means every dollar you donate represents a priceless gift for a family in need.
The best time to help others is right now, so donate your Qurbani today and help Embrace Relief reach even more people throughout the year!

Where You Can Make An Impact
Qurbani in Africa
More than 300 million people in Africa – roughly the population of the United States – lives with food insecurity, and nearly half of these people face “acute” food insecurity, meaning they are at immediate risk for starvation. Generations of poverty, climate change, and conflict throughout the continent have created a hunger crisis.
Every donation makes a difference in someone’s life, so join us and help brighten the future for thousands of people across Africa.

An estimated 1 in 8 U.S. households are food insecure, with millions of children facing nutritional challenges as they grow up.
