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:
