MORE INFO
Join us for this special Community Iftar dinner at GAMH Community Hub. Woodlands Community invites people, of all faiths and none, to come together to break bread at our Iftar Meal. Iftar is the name of the meal eaten by Muslims at sunset to break their day’s fast during the month of Ramadan. It is the main meal of the day for those who are fasting. Iftar is a space of celebration and community. Eating together builds friendship, understanding and trust. It is a way of acknowledging our shared humanity.
There will be a separate space for prayer available in the venue.
These meals are run on a drop-in basis, with no need to book. All the food will be vegan/halal. This meal is free and open to everyone. If you would like to support our work and can afford to donate, you can make a voluntary donation on a sliding scale.
Everyone is welcome to this meal, however we will prioritise people who are breaking their fast for Ramadan.
It is traditional to break the day’s fast with dates. We will have Palestinian dates on the table at our meal to show solidarity with the people of Palestine.
This event is run in partnership with our friends and guests from Al-Furqan Mosque and the meal is cooked by chef Luna Issa.
