SUMMARY:Annual Eid Toy Drive for Zakat-Eligible Families

Please use this list as a guide for the types/numbers of toys requested. We encourage you to shop elsewhere when possible and to boycott brands like Walmart and Fisher-Price.\n\n\n\n– Donate using Cheddar Up (secure link) or drop off cash/checks (made out to “Girl Scouts”) marked “Toy Drive” or gift cards to the MCC office.* These can be handed to Aminah on Fridays (9 am – 4 pm).\n\n\n\n– Drop off toys at MCC (bins are located in the lobby) (MCC doors are open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily) or Northstar School.\n\n\n\n– Ship toys/gift cards from any online retailer to: MCC Girl Scouts\, 5724 W. Las Positas Blvd.\, #300\, Pleasanton\, CA 94588\n\n\n\n\nPlease avoid: \n\n\n\n\n– Electronics or electronic accessories requiring children to have access to a particular device\n\n\n\n– Previously used items\n\n\n\n– Clothing\n\n\n\n– Dollar store or similar quality toys\n\n\n\n– Toys of a violent nature (guns\, swords\, etc.)\n\n\n\n– Toys that may be construed as having an inappropriate nature\n\n\n\n– Makeup\, nail polish\, ‘tattoos’\n\n\n\n\nRemember that we hope to share gifts these children may not typically have access to. If you donate a toy that needs batteries\, please attach a set. \n\n\n\nWe are grateful to all our interfaith community partners for their support\, year after year. \n\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n\n\n\n*MCC Girl Scouts will use funds collected to purchase toys or wrapping supplies for the drive.  Any extra funds received will be used for school supplies for the same group of children for the next school year. \n\n\n\nQuestions for Girl Scouts Troops 30875 and 32705? girl-scouts@mcceastbay.org

SUMMARY:Post-Taraweeh Khatira | Badr: When the Impossible Became Possible | Imam Zaid Shakir
DESCRIPTION:The People’s Imam returns after long last to MCC this Ramadan! Imam Zaid will speak after the 20 rakat of Taraweeh ends. His visit coincides with the historic Battle of Badr\, which took place on the 17th of Ramadan. Imam Zaid will impart lessons from this battle when the impossible became possible.  \n\n\n\n11:15 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. | Thursday\, March 28 | MCC Prayer Hall | Join in person or watch online at mcceastbay.org/live \n\n\n\nQuestions? events@mcceastbay.org \n\n\n\nThe historic Battle of Badr took place on the 17th of Ramadan.  \n\n\n\nAs we commemorate the Battle of Badr (17th of Ramadan)\, we reignite our trust\, love\, and connection to Allah\, who made the seemingly impossible possible by granting Muslims victory and aiding them with Divine assistance. As Muslims in our Ummah struggle in different aspects of our lives\, it is Allah ﷻ again who can assist us in times of need and make what we feel to be insurmountable a true victory for this life and the Next. \n\n\n\nJoin us or tune in to reignite our Badr inspiration in our lives! This was when only 313 Muslims heroically fought on the battlefield at Badr against seemingly insurmountable odds; this night in 2024 is especially relevant given the struggles of our Palestinian brothers and sisters. \n\n\n\nOn the 17th of Ramadan\, our Beloved Prophet ﷺ courageously led 313 Muslims into their first major battle against their adversaries. \n\n\n\nThe Qurayshi Meccans\, with their 1\,000-strong army\, stood as formidable opponents against the believers. As the two sides clashed on the battlefield\, the Quraysh were taken by surprise and retreated in fear. \n\n\n\nAngels descended upon the battlefield\, turning the tide in favor of the Muslims. This victory marked their success in the first battle fought against the disbelievers. \n\n\n\nThe Muslim community faced further challenges\, with some resulting in less favorable outcomes. However\, the fledgling ummah persevered despite these setbacks\, paving the way for the continued dissemination of the Prophet’s message. \n\n\n\nThanks to the brave sacrifices of our predecessors 1400 years ago\, we are honored to continue spreading the uplifting message of Islam.
