The Islamic Food Bank fights food insecurity in northwest Ohio. We identify and fill in gaps to expand access to nutritious, culturally relevant food.
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.
The mission of the Islamic Food Bank is to empower Muslims and the greater Toledo community to feed the hungry and spread peace.
We strive to be among the best of those who are the best to the people, as our faith encourages us to be.
We get more done when we work together with people and organizations with shared values.
Our community thrives only when we take care of each other.
We recognize the dignity of each human being regardless of circumstance.
We are reaching more of our neighbors in need every day via significant program expansion and the addition of new community partners.
Here are some highlights for 2023:
To ensure consistent food access, we partner with schools, universities, community centers, and other organizations to meet our neighbors in need where they live, learn, and play.

“Love is not a straight line, it is a circle. When I volunteer at the food pantry, I am welcomed into that circle with open arms, and I have the opportunity to make that circle even bigger by helping to make sure everyone has access to the most basic needs. And of course, it’s no secret that in giving, one receives so much more! The Islamic Food Bank of Toledo is a shining light to so many in our community. Thank you!”
- Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ)
