"O you who have believed, fear God and believe in His Messenger; He will [then] give you a double portion of His mercy and make for you a light by which you will walk and forgive you; and God is Forgiving and Merciful."  ~ Qur'an 57:28

LA'S FIRST HALAL FOOD PANTRY
 
 It may be difficult for some to know that there are Muslims living beyond the poverty line in America. They are homeless and live without a decent meal for days. They are understandably embarrassed to ask for help. Helping someone before they ask for help is nobler. A group of Muslims in the San Fernando Valley started the charity, Halal Project. 

They are planning to open LA's first Halal food pantry and are encouraged by a matching grant by UMMA Community Clinic. We encourage everyone who can to double your donation by clicking here.
