Dozens of volunteers helped pack meals Saturday at The Mecca Center in Willowbrook for people starving globally, during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan when Muslims fast daily from dawn to dusk.
"These meals are going to be shipped internationally to either orphanages, schools or hospitals," Siddiqui said."They go to people who are malnourished, who have not had a meal in a long time. Most of these meals end up going to countries in Africa."
