FAMILY FOOD BOX FOR FLOOD VICTIMS
Assalam-o-alaikum, by now hopefully you must have seen the video of Fakhr-e-alam about donating the
prepaid boxes per family easy and fastest way to mobilize immediate requirements. We have to come
forward and initiate this, we can all together make a lot of difference as a team, its upto you people how
many boxes you want to donate. I have done a little shop around on items that can be more nutritious
and economical as well, we have to keep in mind that this is not just one time effort inshallah we'll have
to continue this good deed in future too, you can plus or minus any items you want .The box you can get
at any U-HAUL store small size. ($1.70) or a pack of 25 boxes for$35.00 and can be divided among 4 or
5 people cutting down the cost.
We don’t have to be as specific in detail as shown in the video, we can alternate the things keeping in
mind that (prepaid) FOOD is the most needed; it should be more in calories and sugar. According to PIA
manager MR KARTAR TARLEJA, said that we should label the boxes with what we are putting inside
and then have to drop it to their office in NY.
Following are the items i came up with per box costing around $15.00:
