\u00a0<\/p>\n

Muslim families across Liverpool have been donating food to people who would otherwise go hungry this Christmas.<\/h4>\n

Several Islamic organisations in the city, which was home to England’s first mosque, have been collecting for food banks during the festive season.<\/h4>\n

At one collection point, the Happy Children Nursery in Wavertree, staff used donations to teach that charity is both a British and Islamic value.<\/h4>\n

“Hunger does not discriminate,” nursery manager Saeeda Aslam said.<\/h4>\n

For the past five years, the nursery, where children learn Arabic, has collected food from Muslim families living in the city and who come from dozens of different countries.<\/h4>\n

Previously, this was donated to a local church, but this year it has been collected by the local Fans Supporting Foodbanks charity, run by supporters of the city’s rival Premier League football teams, Liverpool and Everton.<\/h4>\n

Throughout December, the charity has collected more than ten tonnes of donations from around the city, including from the Abdullah Quillam mosque, founded in 1887.<\/h4>\n

According to the Trussell Trust charity, the number of people who rely on food banks for emergency supplies across the UK hit record levels last year.<\/h4>\n
