Ramadan is Approaching! What Should Be Included in a Ramadan Package?

The month of Ramadan is a time when the spirit of solidarity and sharing is most deeply felt. One of the most effective ways to support those in need during this period is by donating Ramadan packages. As Çare Association, we aim to reach thousands of people under the slogan “Let Our Table Be the Solution!” So, what should a Ramadan package include? Here are the details.

Essential Items for a Ramadan Package

Ramadan packages are designed to stock sahur (pre-dawn) and iftar (fast-breaking) tables with essential food items, meeting families’ daily needs. The ideal contents of a Ramadan package are as follows:
•Basic Food Staples
Staples like rice, bulgur, pasta, lentils, chickpeas, and beans form the foundation of the package. Additionally, flour, sugar, salt, tomato paste, and cooking oil (sunflower oil or olive oil) are must-haves.
•Breakfast Essentials
Items such as olives, cheese, jam, tahini-molasses, along with tea and sugar, are indispensable for sahur meals.
•Snacks and Beverages
Dates, raisins, figs, and other energy-boosting snacks, as well as fruit juice or powdered drinks, are ideal for both sahur and iftar.
•Additional Items
Long-lasting foods like instant soup and canned goods, as well as other supplementary products, can also be included.

Points to Consider When Preparing a Ramadan Package

When preparing a Ramadan package, it’s essential to consider not only the selection of products but also their suitability for the living conditions of those in need. At Çare Association, we pay special attention to the following aspects when preparing our packages:

1. Checking Expiration Dates: Ensure the products are fresh and consumable.
2. Balanced Nutritional Content: Strive to balance carbohydrates, proteins, and fats in the package.
3. Durability: Make sure the products can withstand environmental factors like heat and humidity.
