Hello Iftar: Free Meals Delivered to Homes in Istanbul Throughout Ramadan

The Iskenderun municipality in Istanbul has launched a program called "Hello Iftar" to deliver free iftar meals to families unable to prepare food during Ramadan due to work or health conditions.

The Iskenderun municipality in Istanbul has introduced a new initiative named 'Hello Iftar', aimed at supporting families who are unable to prepare meals for iftar due to various pressures. This service will deliver meals sufficient for four people directly to their homes during the month of Ramadan. The mayor of Iskenderun, Mohammad Tawfiq Goksu, emphasized that this initiative targets fasting individuals who may not have the ability to prepare their evening meal due to job commitments or health challenges. The program offers convenient meal delivery for those in need, ensuring that no one has to break their fast without a proper meal.

Moreover, Mayor Goksu elaborated that the program is part of a broader Ramadan initiative by the municipality aimed at enhancing social solidarity and support for the less fortunate. Each day, dedicated teams will prepare and distribute these meals to registered beneficiaries, reinforcing community bonds during the holy month. The initiative not only provides physical sustenance but also seeks to uplift spirits through acts of kindness and solidarity, reflecting the true essence of Ramadan as a time for compassion and giving.

In addition to the 'Hello Iftar' project, the municipality has organized various social activities throughout Ramadan, which include communal iftar tables and other solidarity events designed to assist those in need and alleviate their living burdens. Goksu underscored the Ramadan spirit of mercy, forgiveness, and mutual support, mentioning decorations and special lights installed in streets, squares, and schools to celebrate the joyous atmosphere of the month.
