Zamir Hassan, a retired software engineer originally from Pakistan, has founded the « Hunger Van » program in 2011. The organization relies on volunteers who are dispatched in a van to feed homeless people across the East Coast of the United States. The Hunger Van provides two types of sandwiches: the honey bee sandwich and the peace sandwich. « My goal is to engage Muslims in their communities, » Says Hassan, « As a Muslim, I am not supposed to go to bed if my neighbor is hungry. »
