About

Serving humanity without limits

Ummah Relief Association is a not-for-profit based in Kitchener, Ontario.

Who we are

Ummah is the Arabic word for community. We are people from that community, giving our time so that no senior misses an appointment for want of a ride, and no family goes without food.

We work mainly in Kitchener‑Waterloo, and across the Greater Toronto Area. We help anyone in need, whatever their faith. Our motto, printed on our volunteers’ vests, is the promise we work to.

Our Sadaqah Jariyah wheelchairs

Our red wheelchairs carry the words Sadaqah Jariyah, ongoing charity: a gift that keeps doing good every time someone uses it.
