Help Feed 60 Families this Month!
Our Collective Small Giving Could Literally Change a Life!
Spending in the way of Allah (SWT) to help those who are less fortunate is a form of worship that Allah loves. Charity protects us from the hellfire, shades us on the Day of Judgement, increases Allah's favors upon us, elevates our status, and so much more! Let us use our blessings from Allah to help lift up those in need whether it's by donating our time or money.
Since January 2022, the youth organized and with the help of Dar Al-Taqwa, Muslim Family Center, Maryum Islamic Center, and Youth Crisis Line sponsorship, they were able to feed 60-80 families each month, with the grace of Allah (swt).

[And give] to the needy who, being wholly wrapped up in God's cause, are unable to go about the earth [in search of livelihood]. He who is unaware [of their condition] might think that they are wealthy because they abstain from asking; but you are unable to recognize them by their special mark: they do not ask people or intimidate them. And whatever good you may spend [on them], verily, God knows it all. (2:273)
