Food insecurity continues to plague our communities. In fact, 4 million Canadians experience food insecurity on a daily basis. 
These 4 million people are our responsibility to feed and protect - they are our neighbours. And our neighbours have a right over us.

Hunger hurts. 

The pain of hunger leads to a vicious cycle of anxiety, depression, and poverty. Anxiety disorders and depression is 23% greater in food-insecure households. 

The physical and mental health of a family is affected when they are simply trying to survive. You can be their relief. 

“Whosoever removes a worldly grief from a believer, Allah will remove from him one of the grievances of the Day of Judgment. Whosoever alleviates the needs of a needy person, Allah will alleviate his needs in this world and the next.” (Hadith: Muslim) 

Let’s heal the pain of our brothers and sisters. 

Hunger is a trap. 

It traps people in a vicious cycle that leads to more poverty, more joblessness - more pain. 

Because let’s face it - if your family was hungry, would you support your family with a minimum-wage job so you can provide food on the table, or spend thousands to pursue higher education while your family suffers? And the cycle continues.

Let’s free our families from this trap.

Because let’s face it - if your family was hungry, would you support your family with a minimum-wage job so you can provide food on the table, or spend thousands to pursue higher education while your family suffers? And the cycle continues.

Let’s free our families from this trap.

And it continues to break families - starting from our children. 

In Canada, one out of every six children under the age of 18 suffers from food insecurity.  

According to a 2019 report by Hunger Count, 34.1% of Food Bank users are children despite only representing 19.4% of the population.

Children must have sustenance to learn, grow and excel - without this, how can we strengthen our communities and shape a better world for our children? 

When children are hungry, how can they learn and receive a proper education? 

Without education, how will they rise above the poverty line? How will they support themselves and their families? And the cycle continues. 

Share A Meal is here to break the cycle. Once and for all. 

Our team behind Share A Meal has over 15 years of experience in providing food, building bakeries/kitchens, and feeding thousands of people every single day. We envision a Canada that allows our families to grow, for our communities to thrive, and for our future to be bright with opportunity.

What is childhood cancer?

Childhood cancer (also called pediatric cancer) typically refers to a cancer that is found in children and teens, and sometimes young adults. It is not just one disease. There are many types, which can be found in different places throughout the body.

The most common cancer in children is leukemia, a type of blood cancer. Cancer can also occur in organs and tissues such as the lymph nodes (lymphoma), nervous system (brain tumors) and muscles, bone and skin (solid tumors).

Does cancer treatment save lives?

Cancer treatments do in fact regularly save lives. However, one of the challenges of a cancer diagnosis is the need for continued treatment making your support all the more necessary for those who have nowhere to turn.

Is my donation Zakat eligible?

Yes! Approximately 70% of our recipients are Zakat Eligible.

What is the average cost of cancer treatment?

You can cover the entire treatment for a child for $5000 USD!

How is my Zakat money spent? Who is it spent on?

The Zakat donations that we receive from our donors are distributed among Zakat eligible patients for whichever treatment they are receiving from Indus Health Network facilities.

What are your guidelines for distributing Zakat Donations?

The Indus Hospital provides quality care without any discrimination, free of cost through the support of your Zakat and Donations.

With the help of reputable Sharia Scholars, The Indus Hospital (TIH) has developed a criterion to ascertain if Zakat is applicable to a certain individual. Whenever a patient visits the Indus Hospital, he/she goes through the assessment with TIH’s welfare officer to determine if the patient is eligible for Zakat or not.

Once the recipient of Zakat is identified, their MR number is marked to signify that the patient’s treatment should be supported from Zakat account. The patient is requested to sign a declaration granting the Indus Hospital permission to collect Zakat on their behalf and to use that Zakat to sponsor the treatment of his/her and/or other patients or hospital requirements. Once the patient is discharged, hospital generates an internal bill and sends it to the Zakat Committee for settlement.
