FAQ

1 - How did JMFB start?

The JMFB was an initiative started to combat the ever increasing problem of food security in our community. The need for the Jaffari Muslim Food Bank was identified by community members who recognized that many families in the area were struggling to afford enough food to meet their basic nutritional needs. The food bank was established as a way to address this need and provide essential support to those who were in dire need of a source of halal meat and groceries .
