If there is a will there is a way..

Assalamu Alaikum WRH Brothers and Sisters,

Couple of months back, a group of our sisters formulated a plan to help an organization. Rather than directly helping financially they conducted a 
GARAGE SALE. They received tremendous support from the community and Shukur Alhamdulillah, they made a decent collection and thus ended up helping the organization. It ended up as a Win Win situation. As said, If there's a will, there is a way.

Now, the same sisters want to repeat this noble exercise. This time, they want to help ICNA Relief Dallas Food Pantry.

What started as a help providing food for the refugees along with rental / utility assistance, ICNA Relief Dallas opened a food pantry, in a place surrounded by 
400
 refugee families, facilitating them with much needed food help. We are currently serving every week 30 families of various ethnicity from Burma, Iraq, Nepal, Bhutan, Tunisia, Somalia, Sudan, Ghana, Eritrea, Afghanistan, Liberia. Every week approximately 1500 lbs of food gets distributed evenly. We have a proper procedure in place and everything is audited neat and clean. 

Shukur Alhamdulillah, Not a single grain goes waste.

Helped So Far in 2012:

93 Families (May 1st - May 31st)            5385 Lbs 
95 Families (April 1st - April 30th)       5000Lbs
30 Families (March 11th - March 31st) 1585 Lbs

We need your help. On the sister's behalf, I am requesting you to provide them full support.
