Support to help with the expenses

 

Closer to 10,000 Muslims in our area attend these united Eid prayers and the numbers keep going up, Alhamdulillah. Organizing such a large event comes with a ton of expenses, apart from the hundreds of volunteer hours a lot of volunteers help out with.

If you can help share the expenses a bit it goes a long way in easing the hardship in organizing these large events and bringing thousands of Muslims together to show that we are not a small community to get ignored.

This includes both brothers and sisters. If you appreciate the hard work behind bringing such a large community together and be a part of it, please reach out to your local Masjid Administration and tell them that you'd like to volunteer. May Allah reward you for your time and willingness. It's a team effort, and we certainly need your help.
