This month, we set out a goal to help those people who are struggling the most in this pandemic by raising $40,000 before Dec 31st.

As you can imagine, these past several months we have seen more and more people needing our help. Fathers who have lost their jobs, mothers who fled a war‐torn country only to arrive here when there were no new jobs, and children who had just enough to eat now needing the tools to attend school remotely.

At FAITH, we've had more clients asking for help, and we were worried if we could help them. It's because of you that we can ‐ your generosity has allowed us to help these people. Your support means we can uphold our promise to each other as a community to take care of each other when times are hard, support our neighbors, and be there for our brothers and sisters.

22,000 meals served by the FAITH Food Pantry
 and 1,262 people assisted with rent assistance by the Emergency Assistance Program, including the prevention of evictions.
Please consider a year-end tax-deductible donation to these or our other programs.

"The Prophet Mohammad PBUH said, the most beloved of people to Allah are those who are most beneficial to people. The most beloved of deeds to Allah SWT is that you enter joy into the hearts of your brother or sister, or you do away with one of their hardships or that you do away with one of their debts or their hunger."
- Imam Omar Suleiman

We can't wait to "see" you at our first ever FAITH Virtual Fundraiser: Empowering Families with Compassion During a Pandemic and Beyond!

10/23/2020

Please help FAITH support neighbors in need by joining the upcoming FAITH Virtual Fundraiser on Saturday, October 24, at 8PM EST.
We are excited to announce that Yasmin Elhady- YasGuru- will be the Emcee for an inspiring and entertaining night!

Some of our speakers include: Senator Jennifer B. Boysko, Omar Suleiman, Dr. Zainab Alwani, Imam Mohamed Hag Magid, Salma Abugideiri, Dr. Amaarah DeCuir, Ahmed ElHattab, Dr. Tanveer A. Mirza, and Fakhir Ahmad.
Remember that your support will help FAITH stave off evictions and prevent families from going hungry. Social isolation and 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 mother 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.

With the recent economic downturn, more and more people need our help. At this very difficult time when most places are shutting their doors, we are working hard to keep up with the demand in providing monetary support for needy families who are out of work and running out of cash to pay for necessities.

We are providing services without personal interaction. FAITH is assisting our clients with rent, medical bills, food and other necessities with gift cards, bill pay and other means.

Your support will help empower families in need with compassion during this pandemic and beyond.

Please share this event and invite your friends and family to join.

Domestic violence affects many aspects of children’s lives. Boys who are exposed to violence in their childhood are twice as likely to be violent with their partners as adults. This is a preventable public health issue and it should be treated as such. Our goal is to help all of us get informed and work towards building a peaceful community.
