In this blessed month, we ask you to consider supporting our Ramadan campaign so we can continue to support you and our community's most vulnerable.
Your Zakat Can Transform Lives
Hundreds of deserving individuals line up outside MCC's warehouse every month to receive produce, food staples, diapers, and halal meat.
Assalamu Alaikum Beloved MCC Community,
The Prophet Muhammad () said:
The best charity is that given in Ramadan. (Tirmidhi)
This Ramadan, your Zakat can relieve families struggling with food insecurity, financial hardship, and personal crises. At MCC East Bay, your generosity supports life-changing programs for our neighbors in need:
- Food Assistance: More than 500 families rely on our food pantries, but the demand is overwhelming. A mother who arrived after work to find almost nothing left told us, I dont know how much more peanut butter and jelly my son can eat.
- Car Program: 150+ vehicles provided to struggling families. One mother shared, For the first time, I get my three kids to school on time and get to work on time. My boss is happy, and I dont spend four hours on the bus anymore. My life is changed.
- Rent & Utility Aid: 1,200+ families seek help to stay housed.
- Domestic Violence Support: Helping survivors with housing, career training, and financial aid. "I never thought I could do it. I was so afraid for so long. You helped me with a car, my certificate, and my rent, and now I am working and can pay my bills and take care of my kids. Thank you so much. I pray for MCC."
- Mental Health Services: Zakat-funded therapy for those in crisis.
Every Saturday, a sister hugs me and cries, saying, I could not make it every month without MCC support. She is a single working mom, but food stamps are simply not enough to feed her children.
Your Zakat ensures no family is left behind.
May Allah bless you for your generosity,
Aminah Abdullah
