CHICAGO — It’s a sight to see on Chicago's streets: a hard-to-miss 2004 Volkswagon Jetta decked out in the dramatic "Phool Patti" style popular in Pakistan.

Mohammed Raza commissioned the colorful paint job that blends scenes of his native home to his adopted of Chicago. His goal: to draw attention to a greater mission of helping and feeding others.

"The nourishment of the body is food and the nourishment of the soul is feeding others," Raza quoted.

Raza and others from the nonprofit service group “Who is Hussain” use the car to transport dozens of donated meals, including food that otherwise would have gone to waste, to those in need across Chicago.

"We want to reduce waste in our own communities and we have a lot of programs and we see all this food wasted," Raza said. "The thing about hunger is that it’s a logistical issue. There’s a lot of food wasted.. there’s a lot of people who are hungry," Raza said

His vision to redistribute perfectly good food to those who need it extends beyond Chicago and their colorful Jetta.

"The next plan is to see if we can get a food truck; a mobile soup kitchen per se, where we could also sell food and provide food to those who don’t have the means to purchase," Raza said. "That way we can comb through the whole city.. anyone who needs food , they’re welcome."

It's a lofty goal, fulfilling a the organization's mission of service and faith, and blending the culture of two countries in order to keep hunger on the run.

"Getting a food truck, designed in that phoolpatti fashion, coming down the streets in Chicago, I think people would enjoy that a lot," Raza said.
