14 youth members of the Putney chapter drove to Central London to distribute hundreds of food packs to the homeless people.
It is part of the AMYA’s national ‘Muslims for Humanity’ campaign, where AMYA members do things like clean up streets, donate to food banks, feed the homeless and carry out bucket collections for charities.
After the feeding session, Kamran Cheema, Youth Leader for Putney said:
"Our members have enjoyed living in London for decades and so any opportunity to help our community here is much welcome. As Muslims we are encouraged to partake in charity and are reminded of our social responsibility to help our local communities, particularly those who are homeless or vulnerable"
"Ramadhan is a time when you should be worshiping and serving humanity more than ever. This presents us with an opportunity to become better. We are peace loving British Muslims and will continue to do all we can to serve our local community as best we can and wherever there is a need."
