Description

Join Fasting5k D.C and United Muslim Relief(UMR) in our mission to provide food to Muslims in the D.C area during the month of Ramadan. The last year has been very challenging for all of us but the biggest impact of the COVID19 pandemic has been loss of income for a lot of families and the resulting inability to afford food. Each year during Ramadan, UMR delivers food packages filled with nutritious items such as beans, rice, flour, oil, canned goods, and more to reach people that have absolutely nothing. This year Fasting5k has partnered with UMR to help provide nutritious food to those who may need it so they can spend the month of Ramadan with proper meals in the warmth of their homes. Fasting5k D.C will take place on May 1st, 2021 at the National Mall in Washington D.C. We will meet at the lawn across the National Gallery of Art at 6 pm, and start our 5k. Participants will have the option to walk if they prefer. At the conclusion of the run, Fasting5k will provide meals for everyone to break their fasts and pray together. UMR will be packaging food boxes with non-perishable items on site for anyone interested in giving them a hand or bringing any items to add. We look forward to having you join us at Fasting5k 2021 and help us in making a difference in our community. https://charity.gofundme.com/o/en/campaign/fasting5k-dc-2021
