Barakah Box is a food bank operation in the Hamilton area that we have been running since 2015! It is Mishka Social Service’s largest project and is a joint venture with Islamic Relief Canada, Show Kids You Care, and RBC Foundation. Barakah Box serves Halal foods to more than 1000 families annually. 

As we have transitioned to a gift card system, families are now able to go to the local halal food market (Eastern Food Market) and purchase foods of their choice within their allocated budget that is based on their eligibility. This transition has given them the dignity and power to make their own choices about the products they need when they need them. Barakah Box’s food bank registration can be done online or every Saturday at the Hamilton Mountain Mosque (MAH).
