Ramadan Mubarak to everyone!
Alhamdullilah, we have been able to deliver many food packages thus far and coordinate iftar meals for both individuals and families and large groups. Our Eid toy drive is underway and we are very grateful for everyone who is helping out to ensure all the children get gifts. Each year we have more children participating in our Eid toy drive. A special thanks to all the sisters that make lovely Ramadan baskets that were distributed the beginning of Ramadan. Also to all the generous donors who donated funds and foods and new Eid clothes. May Allah Subhana wa ta Ala bless and reward you all.
With the remaining days of this blessed month of Ramadan, we are still in need of iftar dinner sponsors and Ramadan family sponsors to support our zakat eligible families in dire need of assistance. We have many families with children with special needs that really need support and other families struggling with major health issues unable to work. Please consider donating whatever you can to help our local families.
Jazak Allah Khair.
