Our Last Event: Ramadan Iftar For Gaza

On Sunday, March 1, more than 400 members of our community gathered for a fundraising iftar in support of Gaza. The evening was a powerful reminder of the strength, solidarity, and resilience of our community here in Montreal, and of our collective commitment to stand with our people during these devastating times. Your presence, generosity, and unwavering support made this evening possible, and for that we are deeply grateful.
‍
The evening brought our community together in meaningful support for our steadfast people in Gaza. All funds raised will go directly toward food and medical initiatives in the Gaza Strip, helping provide essential assistance to displaced families facing unimaginable hardship and genocide.
