Blesscon & Sragen Regency Government Distribute Hundreds of Basic Food Packages to Residents During Ramadan
During the momentous occasion of Ramadan 1445 Hijri, the Sragen Regency Government (Pemkab Sragen) organized the Safari Ramadan event at Al-Hidayah Mosque, Bedoro, Sambung Macan, Sragen. As part of the event, hundreds of basic food packages were distributed to residents, with a symbolic handover by Sragen Deputy Regent Suroto.
The packages included rice, sugar, tea, cooking oil, soy sauce, and other essential items. In addition to the food aid, Pemkab Sragen, in collaboration with the Ministry of Religious Affairs of Indonesia (Kemenag RI), also distributed copies of the Qur’an. The event was conducted in a marathon format, spanning from the Zuhur prayer to Asr and Taraweeh prayers.
On this occasion, Deputy Regent Suroto emphasized that the distribution of food aid reflects the synergy between local government institutions and their commitment to supporting the Muslim community.
"This initiative allows us to engage in religious rituals together while also expressing our gratitude to all mosque administrators in Sragen. InshaAllah, we are committed to being present and caring for our people," Suroto stated in a written release on Tuesday (April 2, 2024).
He further explained that the eligibility criteria for aid recipients were coordinated with Badan Amil Zakat Nasional (BAZNAS) Sragen, ensuring that the assistance reached those below the poverty line.
Residents Express Gratitude
One of the beneficiaries, Suprapti (75), expressed her deep emotions and happiness upon receiving the food aid.
"Thank you for this package. I am truly grateful, as it makes the Ramadan spirit even more meaningful," she said.
Another resident, Ilham (35), shared a similar sentiment, mentioning that he had been waiting in line for some time to receive the assistance.
"Alhamdulillah, may this be a blessing for the donors. Thank you for the care and support given to the residents," Ilham said.
