As the spread of coronavirus, known as COVID-19, continues to be a growing concern across the country. Right now, we need your support for the Janazah (Burial) Fund

For many in our community, it has been a challenge to observe this tradition of Janazah and burial due to economic hardship. FAITH makes sure families who are unable to manage financially are not left behind without a proper burial of a loved one according to the Sunnah.

Due to the death related to COVID-19, we are running out of funds in this program. The basic cost for one burial is $7,000+, FAITH has negotiated this down to about $3,300.

Please Support Our Goal of $33,000

Sadaqah is the necessary constituent of a believer's faith through which it seeks Pleasure of the Creator of the world by helping out the poor and others in a state of need.

Such acts of kindness and compassion are the reasons why people give voluntarily to charitable causes.

For the past several months, we have been organizing projects, events, fundraisers, volunteer efforts and so much more. When this pandemic hit, it impacted many families in our community into a downward trajectory. Their recovery is a difficult one and will take several months.

Assalamu Alaykum (Greetings of Peace),

On behalf of FAITH, Ramadan Mubarak. As we welcome this holy month, we are experiencing a Ramadan unlike any other of our lifetime a month usually marked by communal iftars and taraweeh prayers this year arrives during a time of social distancing and public health concerns. Insha'Allah we will turn these challenges into an opportunity to increase our focus on worshiping as individuals and as families.

These feelings we've been experiencing these past several weeks - social isolation, financial insecurity - are unfortunately the constant reality of many of FAITH's clients. A young woman who escaped domestic violence trying to start over without any work history; a mom and father who fled Syria working two part-time jobs to provide for their three young children; an elderly woman living alone with no living family. And with the recent economic downturn, more and more people need our help.

This Ramadan, will you help those most in need?

FAITH is keeping pace with demand and making home deliveries of food to needy families in the community. Many of them have been hit hard due to the Stay Home rules and many have been furloughed.

That's why FAITH needs your help to provide food, emergency assistance, shelter assistance, medical bills and so much more for the most vulnerable in the DMV area.

Please Donate Your Zakat and/or Sadaqah.
