Volunteers at ICNA Relief have been determined to make this month easier for the less fortunate.
"One of the pillars of Ramadan is also to be selfless and to give. The ones who need it, or the ones who just get out and be selfless, to give," said Faten Salameh, the ICNA case manager.
For weeks now, ICNA volunteers have hosted all sorts of giveaways in honor of Ramadan, such as feeding others with iftar dinners. And, just last weekend, thousands of children in Irving Park got free new toys for Friday's Eid holiday."These are mainly traditional clothes. Pakistanis and Indians wear these are fancy, formal outfits, particularly for Eid," said Sarwat Khawri, an ICNA volunteer.
On Friday, all of that hard work will be celebrated on Eid for the volunteers and the thousands of others who were on a mission of faith for the last month. "It's part of our faith. We have to do this, same thing as fasting in Ramadan. We also have to increase our charity, increase our good work," Jarad said.
Prayers are set to begin as early as 6 a.m. in parts of the suburbs and city, with similar crowds expected in Bridge View and other areas as seen in recent years.
