During the Eid al-Adha 2026 holiday, MCC East Bay accepts Qurbani meat cut into stew-size pieces and placed in clear Ziplock plastic bags. MCC will distribute amongst the 500+ Zakat-eligible families that our Food Pantry serves.
Please drop it off anytime until Friday, June 5, 2026. No staff person needs to be on-site to accept the meat. The community center doors are open from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m., seven days a week. During those hours, please come directly to the MCC kitchen and leave the bagged meat in the MCC kitchen freezer, located in the glass refrigerator or metal freezer. For your convenience, we have also placed a smaller white freezer in the MCC lobby. If you are not familiar with the facility, here is the facility map: HTTP://mcceastbay.org/facility-map
Meat prices have increased this year due to inflation. Local deserving families in the East Bay will significantly appreciate your Qurbani meat.
The days of Qurbani (sacrifice) are from Friday, June 6 to Sunday, June 8, with Ayam ul Tashreeq (Days of Remembrance) starting from Fajr on Thursday, June 5 (9th of Dhul Hijjah) to Asr on Monday, June 9 (13th of Dhul Hijjah).
