About
Hunger Is Spreading: But So Can Our Compassion
Today, families in Gaza are facing one of the worst humanitarian crises in recent history. With food prices soaring and supply chains shattered, even a basic meal is out of reach for thousands.
Homes lie in ruins. Markets are empty. Children are still going to bed hungry, every single night.
Through our Hot Meal Distribution Program, Umma Relief is delivering freshly prepared, nourishing meals directly to displaced families. These aren't ration kits or canned goods, these are warm, dignified meals, cooked with care and delivered with compassion.
For a mother who hasn't eaten in days, or a child who hasn't had a full plate in weeks, your support is life-saving.
💛 One hot meal can restore hope. One donation can change everything.
Let's stand together for Gaza, one plate at a time.
The Crisis Continues: So Must Our Mercy
Long after headlines fade, the hunger remains. Even outside of any particular season, feeding the hungry is one of the most urgent and noble acts of mercy.
When you give a meal, you give more than food, you give strength, dignity, and the message that the world has not forgotten them.
❝ "The best of people are those who bring the most benefit to others.", Prophet Muhammad ﷺ
This is your moment to act.
Not with silence.Not with hesitation.But with mercy.

What Is Happening
Families in Gaza have been displaced again and again, and the markets, clinics and water systems they relied on are gone. Hunger here is not a slow decline. It arrives in weeks, and it reaches children first.
What UMMA Is Doing
We work through kitchens and medical teams already inside these communities, because they know which streets to reach and they are there before we are. Your donation buys ingredients, fuel, medicine and the transport that gets all three to families who cannot travel to collect them.
Common Questions
Is my donation secure?
Card details go to Stripe and never reach our servers. We see the amount, the campaign and the receipt address, nothing else.
Are my donations tax deductible?
Yes, to the extent allowed by law. You receive a receipt for every donation, and all of them are in My Donations, in the UMMA app or your dashboard on the web.
Can I give my Zakat to UMMA?
Yes, and only to campaigns marked Zakat eligible. Zakat is restricted to the categories in Surah At Tawbah (9:60), so UMMA will not let it be applied anywhere else. If no eligible campaign is open, we say so rather than route it elsewhere.
How do you decide where donations go?
Donations go to the campaign you choose, and that campaign shows its own progress. If you donate without choosing one, funds go where the need is greatest at that moment.
Can I cancel a recurring donation?
Yes, at any time, in My Donations in the UMMA app or on the web. No email and no phone call. Gave without an account? The link in your receipt email cancels it.
Something went wrong with my donation. Who do I tell?
Email hello@ummafoundation.org with the receipt number and a person replies. Refunds follow the refund policy on this site.
What happens if this campaign does not reach its goal?
The work carries on with what was raised. Donations are not held back waiting for a total and they are not moved to another campaign: they go to this one, and the progress bar shows exactly where it stands.
What happens if it raises more than its goal?
It keeps accepting donations and the extra goes to the same work. A goal is what we planned for, not a cap on the need, and a campaign that has passed its goal is still the campaign you chose.
