Dear Family,
Peace and blessings unto you,
Ramadan Kareem to you and your loved ones. May the blessings be showered upon you.
Like the previous years, MY Project USA team is ready to help you get the best out of this Ramadan. There are several opportunities for you to share your blessings in different forms per your desire and convenience. Here is a quick breakdown for you:
Feed the Hungry & Needy: Daily Iftar Kitchen: Donate cooked food or money to buy cooked food
Weekly Food Pantry. Donate money to help buy dry staples
Special Eid Pantry in the last week will be funded by your Zakatul Fitr.
Clothe: Donate new or gently used Desi, American or Traditional clothes & Accessories to provide Eid clothes for the children that need them the most.
Shelter: Donate to help pay the rent or bills of refugees, needy and victims of abuse in our community.
Free a Slave: Human Trafficking is modern day slavery. Help us in addressing it on our street and in our towns. We are working on both prevention and intervention side of this issue.
Educate: Donate to sustain and grow our Youth and Adult Education Programs that would help youth and parents to stay away from drugs, gangs, violence and many other issues. We also provide ESL classes and job trainings.
Employ: At MY Deah's Store and Warehouse, we are training and employing the community members for various jobs. We are establishing a container business. Through this business, we are not only employing the unemployed individuals and helping them stand on their own feet, but we are also establishing our organization as a self -sufficient organization by 2020, inshaAllah. God willing.
Our mission is to Protect and Empower our children, youth and parents within our local communities. We empower them against poverty, hunger, drugs, gangs, violence and many other issues through social services and civic engagement. We fit 6 out of 8 criteria of Zakat. Your zakat goes a long way here.
Please make sure to check our volunteer page to find opportunities to help throughout this Ramadan.
