We are committed to being...

A “Food First” Connector

We foster empathy and build bridges to support refugees and immigrants as they navigate their new environment by providing access to culturally-responsive, nutrient-rich food.

These efforts also empower connections that support cultural orientation and community integration.

Community-Led & Driven

Our programs are a reflection of the inherent wisdom and resilience of our community, and our commitment to serving our neighbors knows no bounds.

We activate the strengths of our community and see the potential in everyone, regardless of their faith, race, income or other perceived barriers that could prevent them from reaching their unlimited potential.

A Trusted Resource for All

Rooted in the local Islamic community, we’ve established our programs not only to be inclusive, but also authentic to the communities we serve.

We stand ready to nurture a sense of belonging for all people, regardless of faith, and especially those who are new to the country.
