From Humble Beginnings to Community Cornerstone
Feeding Hope & Building Community
Humble Origins, Big Impact
Founded in 2011 by the Indianapolis Muslim Community Association, the food pantry at Masjid Al-Fajr started with $400 a month and has grown to serve over 450 people each Sunday. It supports a diverse community, including many immigrants, and is crucial during Ramadan, when nearly 200 families receive aid at each event.
Social Justice and Community Spirit
Established in 2011, Masjid Al-Fajr's food pantry has become a center for community cohesion and pride, involving Muslim youth and local students in volunteer work that embodies social justice and Islamic values. The pantry's contributions were honored in 2014 with a Community Service Award.
Help Us to Feed Our Neighbors
Requiring an annual budget of $35,000, Masjid Al-Fajr’s pantry uniquely offers essential toiletries alongside food, addressing a common gap in typical food pantry services. This approach helps alleviate the stress of constant need among the poor, aiming to provide enough supplies to last a week.
Volunteering is part of Islam
“The Prophet ṣallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him) walked briskly, literally leaning forward as if going downhill”
