SNAP cuts aren’t just hurting families.
They're taking away lifelines.

📍 In Oregon:
❌ 150 seniors lost home-delivered meals
❌ Food pantries ran out 4x last month
❌ Medicaid cuts are next

This will cost people their lives.

Missed a fast? You’re not alone.
Islam offers two ways to make it right:
☑️ Fidya (feed someone)
☑️ Kaffarah (fast 60 days or feed 60 people)

Know what you owe.
Do it with dignity.

A pay-what-you-can restaurant run by a nonprofit got pushback…

…because it served too many homeless people.

Access to food is a human right.
It shouldn't be up for debate.

American Muslims: you can pay fidya right here in the U.S.

Fidya means feeding someone in need. That includes the hungry in your own community.

This is what food justice looks like:

✅ Grocery gift cards
✅ Local farms donating meat
✅ Volunteers harvesting backyard fruit

All powering one small-town food pantry.
That’s community support.
Let’s build more of it.

250,000+ meals served. Zero paid staff

The Indian River County food pantry is doing everything it can to feed its neighbors, but they’re facing $100,000 in new costs after losing federal support

THIS is why we’re building Meals N Feelz

Fidya isn’t just a payment—it’s a meal. A moment of relief. A reminder that someone cares.

At Meals N Feelz, we make sure fidya turns into real food, served by real programs already feeding their neighbors.

College summer = no classes, no cafeteria... but hunger doesn’t take a break.

Nearly half of students at WWU report food insecurity—and many lose access to meals over the summer. WHOLE Pantry is stepping up, and we’re here to back them.

The feds just cut:
– SNAP workarounds

– Emergency aid

But we’re not waiting for permission to care.

Fresh tomatoes > empty promises.

Local gardeners in Wisconsin are literally feeding the movement—donating homegrown produce to their neighbors through “Plant a Row for the Hungry.”

We’re so here for it. 🌱

Missed fasts aren’t the end of your impact.

In Islam, feeding others when you can’t fast is still an act of worship. That’s why fidya matters—and why we turn it into meals that matter.

A 28,000 lb food bank donation is incredible.
But the need is even bigger.

With SNAP/WIC cuts looming, Meals N Feelz is backing local food programs that serve with dignity.

We’re turning $3 into real meals—no strings.

Food insecurity doesn’t always look the way we expect.
Sometimes it’s a cancer patient choosing between groceries and medicine.

This new pantry in Rochester is what community care looks like.

Hunger knows no religion. No race. No gender. No creed.

It shows up empty.

So we show up ready.
To build a table big enough for everyone.
To serve with respect. To feed with dignity.

That’s the kind of world we’re working toward.

What he said. Access to healthy food is a human right, not a luxury.

Genesis 4:9 — “Am I my brother’s keeper?”
The Prophet ﷺ said, “None of you has faith until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself.”

We are our brothers’ keepers. Act like it.

Randy Rosso @fooddatanerd.com · Jun 12

🥗 The first step to ending hunger is wanting to. The House and Senate GOP demonstrate loud and clear with these reconciliation bills that they do not want to end hunger. They'd rather increase it.
