HABEEB ALI B. HASAN

About the Foundation

Rapids Hunger Foundation, Inc.: A Legacy Born from a Journey

Habeeb Ali Bin Hasan stepped onto American soil in 2007 with memories of a diverse ancestry spanning from the deserts of Yemen to the bustling streets of India. He was the first in his lineage to make this journey, drawing strength from tales of his grandfather, who had once traveled from Yemen to India, finding love and laying the foundation for future generations. The vastness of the USA made Habeeb’s heart race with possibilities. Yet, a profound realization struck him amidst the towering skyscrapers and crowded streets. The world might be vast, but the chasms of inequality, hunger, and pain was equally deep. Having been blessed with prosperity and opportunities, Habeeb felt an innate responsibility to give back. And so, out of this deep-seated desire to serve, the Rapids Hunger Foundation, Inc. was born.

The foundation's primary mission was clear:

to address the pressing issues of hunger and health. Every month, the Hasan family reached out to nearly a hundred underprivileged families, ensuring they had food, water, and shelter. The smiles on the faces of the children as they held their first hearty meal in days, the tears of gratitude in the eyes of parents—these became Habeeb’s driving force. But the foundation’s reach wasn’t limited to the USA alone. They extended their benevolence overseas, touching lives in countries like Yemen, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Palestine, and Jordan. Every child they helped heal, every heart surgery they facilitated, and every burn injury they tended to add a chapter of hope to their ever-evolving story. Their crowning achievement, establishing the first women’s Islamic school in Pakistan, was a testament to their commitment to empowerment and education. As the foundation grew, Habeeb realized another pressing concern. Numerous immigrants, like him, ventured into the USA with dreams in their eyes but were often lost in the maze of a complex immigration system. They struggled with language barriers, lack of finances, and understanding their rights in a foreign land. Moved by their plight, Habeeb expanded the foundation’s mission, transforming it into a trusted partner for immigration services.

About Rapids Hungers INC

Our Principles comes to life through three core values

Food Distrbution

Elder Days

Food distribution plays a crucial role in ensuring that people have access to the nourishment they need. It involves the organized supply and delivery of food to various communities, including those facing food insecurity, disaster-stricken areas, and vulnerable populations.

Charity

Charity is a benevolent and voluntary act of giving, often involving the donation of money, goods, or services to individuals, organizations, or causes in need. It is motivated by a desire to help and improve the well-being of others or to support a particular cause, without expecting anything in return.

Shelter

Shelter is a fundamental human need, offering protection from the elements, safety, and a sense of security. Whether it’s a house, apartment, tent, or any other form of dwelling, shelter serves as a haven where individuals and families can live, rest, and find refuge.

Donations

Elder Days

Donations are voluntary contributions of money, goods, services, or time made by individuals, organizations, or businesses to support various causes, charities, non-profit organizations, or individuals in need. Donations play a crucial role in addressing a wide range of social, humanitarian, and environmental issues

Clothes Distribution

Clothes distribution is an essential humanitarian effort that involves collecting, sorting, and distributing clothing to those in need. It plays a significant role in helping individuals and families facing economic challenges, disasters, or other crises.
