Our Partners

A young man in his twenties, Amr* carried the burdens and worries of a 70 year-old veteran. New to the country, he had been evicted from subsidized housing, did not have the financial means to pay rent on his own or afford food, and was struggling with validating his immigration papers. Amr felt lost, overwhelmed and unsure of where to go. With IslamicFamily's help, Amr was set up with a monthly food hamper, connected to an outreach worker to help with his immigration process and work permit, and received four months of financial assistance to pay rent. Within a few months, Amr was able to stand on his own two feet, and came back to IslamicFamily with a confident and bright smile, asking to volunteer at our warehouses. The support he received from IslamicFamily provided him with ease and relief, and now Amr would like to do the same for someone else.
