Assalamu Alaykum,

As another year comes to an end, AMFHR would like to say THANK YOU for supporting our organization. Alhamdulilah, AMFHR has been able to accomplish many of the goals throughout this past year, including soup kitchen events in various churches and mosques, canned food drives, and our Qurbani meat collection program. Along with those projects, AMFHR has successfully opened a new chapter in Philadelphia! Below is a summary of the events we were able to accomplish in the year 2012.

AMFHR Soup Kitchen Events 2012 This year AMFHR has expanded its feeding program across New Jersey into New York and Pennsylvania. Nonetheless, we are still concentrated in the New Jersey area, and have been focusing our efforts on the most needed areas. Below is a chart that illustrates the amount of soup kitchen events at various locations across New Jersey and the tri-state area. Inter-Faith Relations

Inter-faith Activities AMFHR has also been building inter-faith relations, by working with various Churches to hold Soup Kitchen Events for the local community. AMFHR works closely with the Rahway Presbyterian Church throughout the year to provide hot meals for the homeless in the area. AMFHR has also been donating baked goods and canned food to Lakewood’s Tent City run by Reverend Steve.

AMFHR in the Muslim Community As part of our overall message, AMFHR seeks to shed a positive light to the Muslim community. AMFHR has been working with many Islamic Institutions, including various Islamic Schools, Masjids. Islamic schools like: ICOB Academy, UMA Sunday School, Baytul-Iman, Al Ghazali, Pioneer Academy in Hackensack, Crescent School in Long Island, and Darul-Arqam, have been deposit sites for our canned food collection. These canned food drives have been held on and off throughout the year, all supplies have been donated to various Food Banks, shelters, as well as individual families who have been in need.

Feed Philly Project As part of our expansion effort, AMFHR has opened up a new chapter in Philadelphia, PA, under the leadership of Dr. Hamza Shaikh and his wife Farah Shaikh. To mark the beginning of this new chapter, AMFHR took on the ambitious Feed Philly Project, where we were able to feed over 1200 people across seven shelters, three mosques, and two churches .

Ramadan 2012 Ramadan is a blessed time of the year, and each year we strive to further help Muslim families in need. This year, AMFHR introduced our Ramadan Food Baskets which were made up of various food items that would allow a family in need to observe Ramadan with a comfortable Iftaar Dinner throughout this holy month. Food items were collected in various Islamic schools and masjids. In total, AMFHR volunteers were able to deliver these Food Baskets to 200 families.

Qurbani Meat Collection Along with our Ramadan Food Baskets, AMFHR also collected Qurbani Meat to give to Muslim families in need. This has become an annual event, and the response we received from our supporters was truly amazing. This was done in conjunction with many Halal Meat Stores, which served as deposit sites for the Meat Collection. AMFHR was able to collect an astounding 3000 lbs of meat this year, and with the help of our volunteers, we were able to distribute them to families all across New Jersey, as well as New York.

Thanks Giving Weekend Programs On the day of Thanksgiving November 22nd the organization went to Newark and the surrounding area to provide food . The event led by the chair Ghani Khan and guided by local muslim leaders went to multiple shelters to distribute food in front of them. The food was distributed to people of the shelters and many others who passed by and were in need of food (rice and chicken platter, water, bananas, granola and chocolate bars). The organization is dedicating its efforts to providing food for needy and will continue to strive. A special thanks to the ICOB Academy for sponsoring the food for this event. Also a huge thanks to our dedicated volunteers who made all this possible by working relentlessly See more pics at http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.498098026889823.120000.261724973860464&type=1&l=a80af68f5b Muslims and Jewish Event at Hempstead to help Sandy Victims Our Muslim Jewish twinining event was very successful yesterday at County clerk office for Town of Hempstead.

AMFHR held soup kitchen at First Presbyterian church in Rahway for 150 people. They received chicken, rice, vegetables, garnola bars, and bananas. The Soup kitchen management & volunteers were grateful to AMFHR for delivering the food for their needy community.
Rosanne, the program director of Food for Friends, made an announcement to the guests & thanked AMFHR and the Muslim community for their diligence and consistent support to Food for Friends Soup kitchen.

Afterwards the AMFHR team delivered the food to the residents of Lakewood Tent City. Rev Steve received the food, clothes, and blankets in recognition of the Thanksgiving holiday.

Rev Steve mentioned that on this holiday their food donations are substantially lower and he was grateful to AMFHR & the Muslim community for the meals served in the course of a year as well as the canned food items & Bakery goods that AMFHR donated weekly throughout the year.

This Thanksgiving holiday was marked by moments for the AMFHR team. The aftermath of Hurricane Sandy has left foodbank's supplies depleted and many throughout the East Coast are left homeless. In these oppressing times it is important to remember not only what you have but that the possibility of tomorrow is always bright when there is faith in your hearts. The AMFHR team understands that by working collectively we can make a better tomorrow.

A special thanks to the ICOB Academy for sponsoring the food for this event. Also a huge thanks to our dedicated volunteers who made all this possible by working relentlessly.
