Sadaqah for Ramadan Expenses
|
|
|
As we enter into the last ten blessed nights of Ramadan, we ask you for your du’as and support to continue to serve our beloved community.
This Ramadan, Alhamdulillah, we are providing spiritually-uplifting programs like in prior Ramadans to engage our youth and bring our community together daily for Taraweehs, community iftars, and spiritual qiyams.
We were able to serve you with the help of your generous donations.
Today, we come to you humbly asking for your support to donate to MCC's operations fund. This Fund enables us to continue with the programing that makes MCC stand out in the Bay Area & across the U.S.
May your sadaqah be your shade on the Day of Resurrection.
