Help our less fortunate sisters and brothers around the world this Friday.
Hidaya Foundation will be in the MCC parking lot during our three Jumu’ah services (1:30 p.m. to 4 p.m.) on Friday, Oct. 11.
The collection truck staff will give you a tax-deductible receipt. A $10 donation is necessary per bag to help cover the container shipping cost to send to your needy Muslim sisters and brothers overseas.
Please be considerate of your donation and give dignity to the families receiving your kind and generous contributions by donating quality used items that are washed and folded.
The Hidaya Foundation collection truck will accept:
- – Winter coats, jackets, and sweatshirts (for all ages and all seasons)
- – Blankets, sleeping bags, comforters, pillows, bed sheets, towels
- – Baby clothes, regular clothes, and traditional clothes like Shalwar Kamis (men & women), Hijabs, etc.
- – Tennis shoes, sneakers, runners, boots, sandals (tie laces together)
- – Backpacks with school supplies and educational books
- – Children’s toys
- – Pots and pans and kitchen items
- – Tents, tarps & tools
- – No food items since buying locally is cheaper and gets there faster.
- – No furniture (submit furniture at https://mcceastbay.org/furniture)
Please tie all shoe laces together to ensure pairs stay together. Also, please do not use broken or dirty items.
