The food distribution took place in recognition of Ramadan, the Muslim holy month (April 12th– May 12th), dedicated to fasting, prayer, reflection and community. Through the Miami Dolphins Foundation Food Relief Program, the organization partnered with Muslim-owned restaurants Al Salam and Mehfil Restaurant to continue their efforts to support minority-owned businesses across South Florida.
