Enter the new Calgary Halal Food Bank Foundation, launching August 29th, designed to deliver halal-compliant food right to your door, removing shame and access barriers. Founded by Samina Rao after her own struggle finding halal options in 2008, this initiative welcomes everyone facing hunger, regardless of faith. They’re gearing up for November operations and urgently need donations and volunteers—check their launch for ways to help.
