🌙✨ Eid Mubarak ✨🌙

From all of us at Urban Roots, we’d like to wish a joyful and peaceful Eid to our Muslim volunteers, participants, partners, and staff.

We are inspired by the shared values of care, stewardship, and responsibility — for one another and for our planet. We’re grateful for the diversity within our community and for the perspectives, dedication, and energy that help strengthen our work.

May this Eid bring you and your loved ones peace, happiness, and renewal. 💚🌍
