Ramadan Support and Free Green Box Signup

Ramadan is a sacred month of fasting, reflection, prayer, community, and charitable giving for Muslims. During Ramadan, most observant Muslims fast from both food and water from before dawn until after dusk. This year, Ramadan will begin March 10 and end April 9 (dates are approximate).

To support Muslim community members who are fasting for Ramadan, Albion College Spiritual Life and Metz Dining have teamed up to provide two free green reusable carryout boxes per person who signs up. Learn more, sign up, or give input on what would be helpful for you during Ramadan using the form linked below.
