Zamir Hassan of Bedminster founded Muslims Against Hunger Project to engage the Muslim community in social action. He decided to do so after 9/11. He visited the Morristown Soup Kitchen with his son’s class and saw how many suffered from poverty and hunger. The program has evolved into Faith Against Hunger, a North American network of volunteers who help the hungry and homeless. The Network provides support services and a pathway to self-sufficiency. In 2011, Hassan started a Hunger Van that brings food and needed items to the homeless in the streets. He has united volunteers across religious, political and socio-economic boundaries while promoting common group and respect. Hassan practices what he believes: “Be good to orphans, the poor and your neighbors.”

Muslims Against Hunger is a North American network of volunteer communities to help feed the hungry and homeless. It is a volunteer run grass root effort to mobilize and educate the Muslim community and the community-at-large about the problems of hunger, poverty, and homelessness. There are multiple associated  projects that work together  towards this goal: Faiths Against Hunger, Hunger Van, and 1 World Community Café.
