Soup Kitchen in Long Island Aug 16

AMHR is planning to serve meals to under privilege people of Long Island community on Tuesday August 16th 2011 at 11:00am and invites the Muslim community to join us as volunteers to fulfill obligation of faith during the month of Ramadan by taking care of these less fortunate neighbors.

The Ramadan fast is also intended to foster compassion for those who are less fortunate than oneself. Feeling thirsty or hungry throughout the day is a very real and personal reminder of those who are suffering daily from food scarcity – whether they are starving half way across the world in Africa or just around the corner in Hempstead Long Island.
For volunteer to join in event please come to MBI at 8:30am for registration.
