Masjid Operational Expenses Fundraiser

Masjid AlSalam is a large facility that serves a community of thousands, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. It offers a clean and comfortable place to offer our prayers.

It also incurs maintenance and upkeep expenses like any structure that is utilized by so many people on a daily basis. We are currently NOT able to meet our recurring monthly expenses!
