“In each center, we have three ladies who cook and three men who offer security to ensure that no one tampers with the food or causes a stampede.
“In each center, there are two bags of rice to feed at least 200 people, or 100 people per bag; there are various kinds such as beans, cakes, and pap, as well as other miscellaneous food, which is cooked every day and delivered between 6:30 and 7:00 to the neediest.
“The centers are strategically selected where you have Islamic schools, densely populated areas, remand homes, hospitals, and Almajiri schools, among others,” he went on to explain.
