🐄🥩❤️ FROM YOUR QURBAN TO THEIR TABLE ❤️🥩🐄

✨ A Community Effort That Will Continue Feeding Families Long After Eid ✨

Eid al-Adha is a time of sacrifice, generosity and community, and this year we have been absolutely overwhelmed by the incredible support shown to the families we serve.

A heartfelt thank you to the National Zakat Foundation for partnering with Sisters Hand in Hand to help provide Qurban meat to families experiencing hardship. Through this partnership, countless women, children and families have been able to share in the blessings of Eid and receive support during a time when many are struggling with the rising cost of living.

🌟 A special thank you to Brother Sjahrir and his incredible team at Langford Halal Butchers.

While many of us only see the final result, this team spent days and nights preparing, processing and organising the Qurban meat before personally delivering it to our office. Their dedication, hard work and commitment behind the scenes made a tremendous difference, and we are deeply grateful for their efforts.

💚 To every donor who entrusted your Qurban through National Zakat Foundation, thank you.

Your sacrifice has reached families who genuinely needed support, bringing relief, dignity and comfort during these blessed days.

🚗📦 We would also like to extend a huge thank you to the many, many community members who visited our office throughout our four-day Qurban collection period.

The generosity we witnessed was truly remarkable. Hundreds upon hundreds of kilograms of Qurban meat were donated by individuals and families across our community. Every drop-off, every contribution and every act of kindness played a part in supporting those who needed it most.

The families receiving their Qurban were beyond grateful.

Many expressed how much it meant to them to know that their community had not forgotten them. For some, this was the first time in a long time that they felt a sense of relief when thinking about how they would feed their families.

And the impact doesn't stop here.

Much of the meat has already been distributed to families in need, but a portion has also been carefully stored so that we can continue providing support in the weeks and months ahead. As food insecurity continues to rise and more families seek assistance, this Qurban will continue putting food on tables long after Eid has passed.

🤲 To every donor, volunteer, butcher, driver, supporter and person who made dua for this initiative, thank you.

You have helped turn an act of worship into an ongoing source of nourishment, comfort and hope for families throughout our community.

❤️ From all of us at Sisters Hand in Hand, and from the many families whose freezers and dinner tables are fuller because of your generosity...

Thank you. We couldn't do this without you.

✨✨ QURBAN 2026 ✨✨

As Eid al-Adha approaches, we are once again preparing to support families across our community with fresh Qurban meat during one of the most sacred and meaningful times of the year.

For many of the women and families we support through Sisters Hand in Hand and the Home of Amal Refuge, receiving Qurban meat is not just about food. It is about dignity, inclusion, community care and being remembered during a time that can otherwise feel incredibly difficult and isolating.

This year, we will be accepting Qurban meat drop offs at our office in Canning Vale from:

• Thursday 28th May
• Friday 29th May
• Saturday 30th May
• Sunday 31st May

Families are welcome to drop off directly to our office during these days and our team will organise distribution to women, children and families experiencing hardship across Perth.

We are also grateful to be collaborating with National Zakat Foundation Australia this year to help make Qurban more accessible for the community. For those who may prefer an alternative option, Qurban can be purchased directly through their website and the meat will then be distributed to us to support vulnerable women, children and families locally. Partnerships like this help ensure more families are reached and supported during Eid al-Adha.

Every year we see the impact this has. Mothers able to cook proper meals for their children. Families who had no idea how they would afford meat during Eid being able to celebrate with dignity. Women in crisis feeling seen, supported and cared for by their community.

If you would like to donate Qurban meat, organise a drop off or have any questions, please reach out to our team.

🚨 THE NEED IS GROWING — AND IT IS GROWING FAST 🚨

Today alone, we had over 5 families come through to receive grocery hampers and warm blankets.

This morning, a very generous family donated 6 large warm blankets to support the women and children we work with. By the end of the day, every single one had already been distributed.

That is how quickly these items are needed.

With the cost of living continuing to rise, more and more families are struggling to afford even the basics. Groceries, electricity, rent, fuel, winter clothing and bedding are becoming increasingly difficult to manage, especially for single mothers, refugee families, and women rebuilding after hardship.

We are now urgently reaching out to the community for support with:

✨ Non-perishable food
✨ Warm thick blankets
✨ Doonas and winter bedding
✨ Basic pantry items

These are some of the most heavily requested items right now, and we still have many families on our waiting lists needing support.

If you are able to donate, no matter how big or small, it genuinely makes a difference and helps us continue supporting families doing it tough this winter.

📍 Drop off: Unit 1, 10–12 Harvard Way, Canning Vale
📩 Please message us to arrange a suitable drop off time.
