Muslims Against Hunger Project is a volunteers run grass root effort to educate the Muslim community and the community-at-large about the problems of Hunger, Poverty, and Homelessness in our backyard. We all need to get involved in local programs like this, as we know charity starts from home.
Currently we are running broad range of interrelated programs to alleviate hunger and homlesness including Soup Kitchen projects in Morristown and Hackensack, New Jersey and also in Long Island, New York. We plan to help start Soup Kitchen projects around the US and Canada by organizing and training Muslim volunteers in how to start and run soup kitchen and homeless shelter support projects. Recently we have also started an effort to save a Homeless Drop-in Center know as Our Place Inc. (www.ourplacemorristown.org) from closing due to financial and management issues.
Our projects are not only helping to feed the hungry, but are also creating a silent dialogue and helping to get diverse groups of individuals together to work for a common cause. In doing so, we begin to learn from one another and grow in our understanding of one another.
