🔁 *Throwback Thursday — When MY Project USA Showed What's Possible*

In 2017, Wedgewood Village was in crisis. 17 shootings. 7 homicides in 7 months alone. The pipeline to gangs was real, and young lives hung in the balance.

MY Project USA didn't just observe the problem — we became the solution. Founder and Executive Director Zerqa Abid saw the potential in every child. When coaches and community members came asking for a soccer program, she believed in the vision. She said yes. And that decision transformed a neighborhood.

We wrapped our arms around families. We started a soccer program. We invested in children when it mattered most.

A special thank you to Councilmember Elizabeth Brown and Columbus City Council for their vital support of this program. Their belief in our community and our children made this work possible.

Today, those same young people are competing at the highest levels — Columbus Crew Academy, Ohio Premier Soccer, Northwest Soccer Club and more. They're traveling. They're coaching. They're leading. They're building lives and futures that seemed impossible just years ago.

This is what happens when you address root causes: food as medicine, healthcare as prevention, economic mobility as independence, and youth development as the anchor. This is what community transformation actually looks like.

We didn't just change a neighborhood. We changed the narrative for 2,000 young people who now know their own power.

The history is clear. The impact is real. And the work continues through their leadership.

Serve Your Community This Day of Arafat with MY Iftar Kitchen!

Since 2015, MY Iftar Kitchen has been more than just a meal program — it has been a movement of compassion, dignity, and service for local elderly individuals and families in need. This Day of Arafat, we invite YOU to be part of this beautiful tradition by helping prepare and deliver fresh iftar meals across our community.

📅 Day of Arafat Iftar Kitchen
🗓️ Tuesday, May 26
📍 MY Project USA – Hilltop Youth Empowerment Center
3275 Sullivant Ave, Columbus, OH 43204

🍽️ We are preparing meals for local elderly residents and families who may not otherwise have access to a warm iftar. Volunteers will help with meal prep, packing, and door-to-door delivery for those unable to travel.

💚 Sponsor an iftar meal for just $15 per meal!
Every meal is an opportunity to share mercy, barakah, and care on one of the most sacred days of the year.

🙌 Two Ways to Participate:
• Sponsor meals for families in need
• Volunteer to help prepare & pack meals

Whether you’re a family, masjid group, student organization, or individual volunteer — this is your chance to turn the blessings of the Day of Arafat into direct action for your neighbors.

Happy Juneteenth!

Today, we honor the resilience, contributions, and enduring legacy of African Americans whose pursuit of freedom and justice has helped shape our nation.

In observance of Juneteenth, MY Project USA offices are closed today as our team takes time to reflect and celebrate this important day.

As an organization serving more than 10,000 individuals each month, we witness the strength that comes from bringing communities together. While the history commemorated by Juneteenth is uniquely rooted in the African American experience, its lessons continue to inspire people from all backgrounds.

The courage, perseverance, and sacrifices of generations of African Americans helped move our nation closer to its highest ideals and expanded opportunities for countless others, including many New Americans who have come to this country seeking freedom, dignity, and the chance to build a better future. Their story reminds us that progress is possible when people refuse to give up hope and continue working toward a more just society.

Juneteenth is both a celebration of freedom and a reminder of our shared responsibility to build communities where every person has the opportunity to thrive.

Today, we celebrate freedom. Every day, we remain committed to advancing justice, equity, opportunity, and hope for all.

Wishing you a meaningful and joyful Juneteenth.
