Colgan Foundation assists IMI employees Burak Ersan and Riza Kaya with their coordination and distribution of valuable bread and food supplies to families and individuals in need in Turkey during Ramadan. Bread on the Hook works with local bakeries to distribute 10,000 breads during Ramadan and 10,000 afterward. The Ramadan Food Box is a box of basic ingredients (sunflower oil, rice, sugar, flour, lentils, couscous, pasta, etc.) that one person can carry and use for cooking during Ramadan. Despite the lockdown due to Covid, in 2021 they distributed 300 of these boxes to people who came to pick up free bread and others in need.
