Islamic Relief USA awarded a $10,000 grant to the Food Bank of Delaware, helping the large regional facility address food insecurity stemming from the novel coronavirus pandemic.
“Since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, food insecurity has increased tremendously in the U.S.,” said Sharif Aly, CEO of Islamic Relief USA. “The impact of the pandemic has resulted in record levels of joblessness, which directly impacts the ability of working families to budget for basic necessities, including food. Long lines have formed outside food distribution centers and pantries throughout the country. Given the Food Bank of Delaware s record of providing effective and trustworthy services, we are honored to partner with them through this grant to address the ongoing food insecurity crisis.
