Charity during Ramadan: 200 volunteers from 36 mosques will help with downtown event
Over the last few days, Muslims from across metro Atlanta have gathered in homes and mosques to prepare food and care packages for the city’s hungry and homeless.
It’s all in preparation for a giant feast today in downtown Atlanta. Organizers are hoping to feed 1,000 people.
The local effort has brought together about 200 volunteers from the 36 mosques scattered across metro Atlanta. It’s part of the Muslim community’s focus on charity during the month of Ramadan, the religion’s most holy month and a time of spiritual reflection, daytime fasting and good deeds.

Ismailis split from the Shia in about A.D. 765 in another dispute over leadership. Their present leader the Aga Khan, who visited Atlanta this year, is one of the world’s richest men and a leading philanthropist, overseeing 325 schools, two universities, nine hospitals and 190 clinics and operating businesses around the world.
An estimated 5,000 Ismailis make Georgia their home.
