Help us help those in need this Ramadan.
as'salaamu alaykum,
In these blessed days of Dhul Hijjah, the Islamic Center is working with Human Concern International to provide much needed aid and assistance to our sisters and brothers in Gaza at Launchgood.com/Udhiyah4GazaOrphans.
We are providing udhiyah/qurbani meat to orphans from Gaza that have been evacuated to Egypt and are providing much-needed flour and hygiene products to families still inside of Gaza. Images of these distributions are below.
Contributions are tax-deductible and zakat-eligible and will go a long way in helping so many in their time of need. Please give what you can and share with others. If you would like to contribute through a different method than launchgood, please let me know and we can coordinate on it inshallah.
Flour is currently impossible to find in Gaza. If you are able to find flour, it can cost you more than $600 USD for one bag. Alhamdulillah, we've been able to secure 3,000 bags of flour for children and their families from within Gaza. With your help, we can provide these families with a bag of flour with your donation of $200, enabling them to eat. Each bag is 25 KG.
We are also working to provide essential hygiene kits for the people of Gaza. Each bag consists of the following:
Please do give what you can at Launchgood.com/Udhiyah4GazaOrphans and share with others to encourage them to give as well. Contributions are tax-deductible and zakat-eligible and will go a long way in helping so many in their time of need.
Barakallahu feekum - may Allah bless you and your loved ones always and accept from all of us in the coming mubarak days of Dhul Hijjah. Ameen.
- Khalid
