Poverty Relief
Our Poverty Relief project supports over 200 service users, individuals and families, from across Glasgow, every week.
At least 150 food & essentials parcels are prepacked by volunteers, as well as a selection of items available for those who wish to pick what they need. We also deliver to 27 vulnerable service users.
The programme is a lifeline for many people who are destitute or don’t have access to services and we can only sustain it through the generous support of our community.
It is related from Ummul Mo’mineen Aishah رضي الله عنها from the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه و سلم; he said, “Indeed Allah does rear a date and a morsel as one of you rears His foal or calf until it (the date or morsel which has been donated) becomes like Mount Uhud.” (Saheeh Ibn Hiban in Targheeb)

– 18m+ Sudanese have acute food insecurity
– 700k children suffering from severe malnutrition.
– Over 70% of health facilities in conflict-affected areas no longer functional
– Two-thirds of the population lack access to health care.
Glasgow Central Masjid will be launching its appeal for donations tomorrow to support the humanitarian effort.
Please donate generously through cash and contactless at the mosque or by bank transfer.
