masjid plus, 2023 is a wrap. Here's a rundown of what we did this quarter.
Assalamu Alaikum masjid plus,
As the year comes to a close, we wanted to express our heartfelt gratitude for the incredible support and dedication you've shown throughout 2023. Your contributions, both in terms of time and money, have made a profound impact on our community and to those most in need.
Food Program Success
We are overjoyed to share that our food program for 2023 has been a tremendous success. Over the past 6 months, with the collective efforts of our volunteers and the support from all of you, we were able to provide nourishment to over 1,146 people, equivalent to 250 families. This achievement wouldn't have been possible without your support.
Stay tuned for exciting developments as we revamp our program for 2024 to include an exciting collaboration with the Colorado Refugee Services Program, ensuring consistent support to immigrants, refugees and asylees in Denver.
Welcoming Souad to the Board
In December, we welcomed Souad Chair to our board of directors, and we are thrilled to have her on our team. Souad, a dedicated volunteer, brings valuable expertise as a pricing analyst and an MBA graduate with a background in project management. Her commitment to service and diverse perspective will undoubtedly enrich our leadership. Get to know Souad by clicking here.
