Islamic Food Bank of Toledo

Founded in 2008, the Islamic Food Bank (IFB) has grown to feed thousands of people across northwest Ohio year-round. Our focus is to extend consistent access to nutritious and delicious offerings to our neighbors in need in line with their preferences. We are proud to provide food that we would serve to our own families and guests in our own homes. IFB is a community-driven organization – for the community, by the community. Funds are raised from the community and from corporate and institutional givers. Food is distributed via a robust network of collaborative community partnerships.

The mission of the Islamic Food Bank is to empower Muslims and the greater Toledo community to feed the hungry and spread peace. Nutritious, culturally appropriate food is actively distributed year-round and for special holidays. Through our unique network of collaborative partnerships, we are nimble, flexible, and continually responsive to community needs. Fighting food insecurity takes the will and effort of the entire community. That is why our core strategy is built on robust collaboration with organizations and individuals of shared values. Programming includes: Weekender Food Bags, Mobile Food Bank, Food Bags for the Homeless, Food Pantries, Holiday Food Packages and inclusive volunteer opportunities.
