Queen's University Muslim Student Association - Ramadan Iftar Program
March 1st to 30th | After Maghrib | Queen's University - Mitchell Hall - Queen's University International Centre
We are the Queen's Muslim Student Association (QUMSA) looking to fundraise for iftars on campus. Unlike other universities, Queen's University is home to many non-local Muslim students. Every year, QUMSA provides free daily iftars during Ramadan for students on campus. This year - we need your help.
We served over 200 students daily last Ramadan. This year we're told to estimate a significant increase in these numbers. We ask those looking to donate a meal to a fasting person to consider QUMSA's program.
The burden of eating alone in Ramadan, or not knowing what to eat because of a student budget, can be lifted with your donation.
For more information, please visit our Instagram (@QUMSA) page!
To ensure transparency of our efforts, kindly review QUMSA's projected costs for the 2025 Ramadan iftar program below:

ISK Men's washroom out of service
Men's washrooms renovation project is nearing the end and we anticipate to finish it Inshallah by end of January.
The project took more than planned due to enhanced scope of work including renovation of entrance area, changing framing and plumbing which required City Approval; pushing us beyond the original 3-week plan.
Alhamdulillah we are close to finish and appreciate your patience and understanding in getting this work concluded and finalized.
