Wuppertal's Moroccan Community Feeds 80 Homeless During Ramadan

During Ramadan, over 80 homeless people in downtown Wuppertal received hot meals in a show of solidarity. The initiative came from the local Moroccan community, who teamed up with a nearby supermarket to provide the food. The effort aimed to address ongoing hunger among those without shelter.

The food bank's usual supplies had fallen short, leaving many homeless individuals without enough to eat. In response, volunteers prepared chicken with rice—a meal chosen for its broad appeal. Distribution took place outside Café Cosa, a drop-in centre supporting homeless people and those battling addiction.

For the Moroccan community, supporting those in need is a key part of Ramadan. The project also reflected their wider commitment to giving back to German society. Donations from community members and a local supermarket made the hot meals possible, ensuring warmth and nourishment for those facing hardship.

The meals reached more than 80 people, offering relief during the holy month. The initiative highlighted the community's dedication to helping others in crisis. Organisers hope the effort will inspire further acts of kindness beyond Ramadan.
