Embrace Relief is proud to announce that its International Hunger Relief: Ramadan 2023 campaign has successfully concluded after providing food packages, hot meals, and Eid gift packages to 30,050 people across 13 countries.
For each of our annual International Hunger Relief campaigns, Embrace Relief partners with local organizations in countries around the world in order to distribute much-needed food to people in need. Our efforts span the globe, aiding people in Africa, the Middle East, Greece, and the United States.
Specific to the Ramadan 2023 campaign, Embrace Relief additionally worked to provide much needed food aid to victims of the February earthquakes in Turkey. Donations to this campaign provided food packages to 350 families in the earthquake zone. This support is in addition to the more than $2.1 million dollars Embrace Relief raised for earthquake relief, which has provided nearly 200,000 ready-to-eat meals and more than 18,000 food packages in the two months since the disaster.
Embrace Relief is proud to share the following details of our work during the International Hunger Relief: Ramadan 2023 campaign:
