Share the Warmth

No one in our community deserves to shiver through the winter. Your giving can wrap them in warmth.

Wrap Them in Warmth

For Muslims across Canada already struggling with rent, groceries, utilities and everyday essentials, winter can bring another layer of financial pressure.

In these coldest months, your Zakat and Sadaqah can wrap them in warmth, providing warm clothing and essential winter support.

AT RISK OF COLD THIS WINTER

Families across Canada are being forced to make impossible choices, turning off the heat to save money, cutting back on groceries to cover rent, and in some cases, huddling in their cars because they have nowhere else to go.

No family should have to choose between staying warm and putting food on the table.

Nearly 4 in 10 Canadians reported difficulty meeting their household’s necessary expenses

WARMTH BEGINS CLOSE TO HOME

This winter, let your Zakat and Sadaqah bring warmth, relief and care to a neighbour in need.

For some of our neighbours, winter means facing difficult choices and going without essentials.

  • A single parent choosing between groceries and a heating bill
  • A newcomer or refugee trying to settle into a new home
  • A senior struggling to afford winter essentials
  • A child heading into winter without a warm coat
  • An orphan facing hardship without the support of a parent
  • A person living with a disability facing added barriers

This winter, share the warmth to make sure they have what they need to get through it.

An older woman in a beige headscarf and black winter coat shovels snow from her driveway, with snow-covered shrubs and a quiet home behind her.

“…and be good to parents, relatives, orphans, the needy, the near neighbour and the distant neighbour…”

— Qur’an 4:36
