We are renaming and rebranding!
same great people, organization, mission and projects - but with a great new name, logo and many new opportunities for connection, and for you to be involved: 

Meet our Inspiration Day Speakers:  

Rosie Rios was the Treasurer of the United States until this past July, and is now a Visiting Scholar at Harvard University. She initiated and lead the historic effort to put  a woman on U.S. currency.  
Zarqa Nawaz, a filmmaker and comedy writer, created the world's first sitcom about a Muslim community living in the west, "Little Mosque on the Prairie", and has just launched her memoir.

Help us fund the good work that we do for Montgomery County: donate an auction item or two to help us replenish our operating funds. 

We have a record of improving the quality of life in our shared community, both for volunteers, and for recipients of our services. Help us stay strong so we can continue our fun and important work!

Contact Lisa Sanfuentes or Monica Beatty to donate - and Thanks!

Join Us For  An Evening of Humanitarian Hummus Wars and Baklava Battles 

The way to a understand a community's heart is definitely through the stomach.  Nothing binds religious, ethnic, and cultural communities quite so much as shared food traditions!  But occasionally, different communities lay claim to the same food traditions, as recently reported on NPR:
 
http://www.makehummusnotwar.com/kitchens_7.html

Join us on Thursday, September 29 at 7 pm as we taste different hummus and baklava recipes from Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, Turkey and Greece.  Let's see what each has to offer,  what we can learn from the differences, and how, though different, they reflect our shared humanity and love of good food! 

DONATE YOUR OLD SHOES!

Any condition! Any size!

Collected shoes are prevented from creating hazardous chemicals in landfills, used to build microenterprise in developing nations, and financially support a local nonprofit.

We are again partnering with Rukundo International (www.rukundointernational.org), which provides educational opportunities, healthcare and nutrition, community-based support, and hope to orphans and other underprivileged and at-risk children and their extended families in Kabale, Uganda in part through this shoe collection.

email us if you would like to help!
