The organization also offers to arrange food at other madrasas and masjids as well. On being asked about how the organization was started, he explained, “Us friends got together and started this it to help people. Today, because of social media, we have grown big and people also donate food to us. We can help distribute it to the needy”.

Just like the organization Terminate Hunger, WeForYouOrganization also does similar food drives around the city. The organisation’s president of, Anwaruddin, said “We have been working for 4 years.
