Food — and hugs — were in abundance Saturday at the end-of-year Feast of Giving Community Celebration at Philadelphia Masjid.

The West Philly mosque hosted a free feast with chicken, fish, crab, and shrimp on the menu.

Philadelphia Masjid serves as a place of worship for Muslims in Philly, as well as an education center for surrounding communities. Part of their mission is to “spread love, hope and faith to everyone,” according to their website.

“It’s all about nurturing and showing love,” said feast participant Sabrina Raheem.
