However, we had to maintain social distancing and limit our conversations as we had a time schedule to follow and deliver all the food items,” she said.“One of the things I learned from this is that many people may be hungry and need food, but they are actually hungrier for human contact and touch,” she added. Zainab, 35, has four dependents including children. Her husband works abroad to provide for their family. She was very worried about providing for her children during this time as they had next to nothing in the house. She says the groceries and food items came at just the right time. “May Allah reward you abundantly,” she told the volunteers as the food items were given to her.
