As Salaamu Alaikum.
We welcome you to our new website which we hope will be easier to navigate and will provide updates on our programs, and feature different articles each month as well, In sha’ Allah. Our articles will focus on our projects and programs, health related information, social service issues and concerns such as food insecurity many families are experiencing, Islamic reminders and daily Hadith, and special notices and projects. Throughout the year we coordinate different programs and projects which include food drives, clothing drives based on the seasons, book bag drives and personal care items collections, and many other projects including special projects during the blessed month of Ramadan. Each year during Ramadan we have iftar meals sponsorships, Ramadan food packages deliveries, EID toy drive collections, Ramadan good deed baskets project and other opportunities for anyone wishing to help out.
Throughout the year our volunteers deliver food packages to families who are in need of food assistance in metro Atlanta area and Northeast Georgia area and smaller South Carolina communities. To date we have delivered more than 6,612 packages which also include personal care packages, and furniture to families. Our volunteers also deliver cooked food as well to families bi-weekly or in cases of urgency we have sisters who cook meals for those who are disabled or sick or without food in crisis situations.
Currently we are collecting food items for our winter food drive throughout the month of February and spring clothes for children ages and sizes infant to size 16. All clothes must be in good condition (clean and free of stains). We are also accepting baby food and baby formula, diapers (sizes 3-5) and personal care items that many of our families ask for on a monthly basis (toothpaste, toothbrushes, deodorant, soaps, shampoo, detergent, facial tissues, hand sanitizer, wipes, band aids).
We thank you for your donations which have helped us to serve so many families. May Allah Subhana wa Ta’Ala bless and reward you for your donations, time and efforts and we hope you will consider helping with any of our projects during the 2019 year that might interest you.
Jazak Allah Khair.
