SUPPORT SINGLE PARENTS
Support Single Parents & Families
Financial burdens and the relentless effort to provide for their children can be overwhelming for single parents and struggling families. When you give your Zakat locally, you help families in need by providing housing assistance, food, and the support needed to strengthen our community.
Uplift Newcomers & Refugees
Your Zakat Helps Them Rebuild Their Lives
Meet the Noori Family
Arriving with only their backpacks and a few essentials, the Noori family left everything they knew to seek refuge and safety in Canada. This family of five shares a single room in a hotel, and despite government support, they barely have enough food to feed their family, with no access to halal options.
Supporting Muslim refugees and newcomers is vital to building a community that cares for and uplifts one another. By providing food, rent assistance, and essentials, we can help them rebuild their lives with dignity and hope.
Give your Zakat and Sadaqah locally and leave no one behind.
