Amuntai, S Kalimantan (ANTARA) - Amuntai branch of Amil Zakat and Sodaqoh Muhammadiyah (LAZISMu), North Hulu Sungai District, distributed 300 basic food packages to poor people a day before Ramadan 1440 H.
The distribution of groceries was held at the Al-Jihad Mosque in Palampitan Hulu Village, Central Amuntai Sub-district on Sunday (5/5) by the LAZISMu Amuntai board to relieve the needy residents in preparing for the need to enter Ramadan.
"We feel proud because the LAZISMu management can gather assistance from Muhammadiyah residents and other donors to help the people in need, especially before entering Ramadan, usually the prices of basic foods crawl up," said Muhammadiyah Amuntai branch head H. Abdul Kadir.
He hopes that donors or philanthropists can give alms, infaq, and zakat through the Amuntai branch of LAZISMu.
The Chairperson of the LAZISMu branch Amuntai Kamaruddin also thanked donors, especially the congregation of the Al Jihad mosque who provided energy and assistance for the second year of social service, so it could run well and smoothly.
"Although the value of the assistance provided is not very large, it is hoped that it can provide benefits to residents who receive it especially in the atmosphere ahead of Ramadan." Kamaruddin said.
He appealed to benefactors and donors to continue distributing Zakat, Infaq and Sodaqah through LAZISMu because it will be fully channeled to the dhuafa (needy) and the orphans.
