For more than a decade, our MakeMeals program has been a simple way for our community to turn compassion into action.

This Sunday, volunteers came together to prepare and distribute warm meals to our neighbors in need right here in our local community. Along with the meals, hygiene kits assembled by community members were also handed out, helping provide essential items and a little extra care to those we serve.

May Allah accept from everyone who donated, volunteered, assembled hygiene kits, prepared meals, and supports this effort in any way.

Want to get involved? Join us at a future MakeMeals and be part of a tradition of service that has been going strong for over 10 years.

Sign up for our newsletter to stay up to date on upcoming opportunities to serve.
