Turning Intentions Into Action

Written By Merium Aziz

Dear Community,

As we prepare our hearts for Ramadan, we wanted to share an intentional shift we’ll be making together. During Ramadan, we’ll be pausing our runs and bike rides—not to step away from one another, but to come together in a different way. This Ramadan, our focus will be on serving with purpose through hygiene kit collections for a women’s shelter and partnering with Project Downtown for food packaging and distribution.

In doing so, we hope to extend an olive branch—to those who may be struggling, feeling unseen, or in need of care. Ramadan invites us to lead with mercy, generosity, and humility, and to show up for others with open hands and open hearts.

• February 15 – Deadline to shop our Amazon Hygiene Kit Drive

• February 22 – Hygiene Kit Packing Day

• March 1 – Private Food Packing Event (Project Downtown × Outdoorsy Muslims)

• March 8 – Food Packing & Community Distribution with Project Downtown

We believe community is built not only through movement, but through compassion in action. This Ramadan, we gather with intention—to lend a hand, offer dignity, and pave the way to do good, side by side.

Thank you for being part of this journey with us. We look forward to serving together.

Best,

Outdoorsy Muslims Team
