I recently got these cute little buttons from Muslamb paper goods. Their products are well made with quality materials but most importantly with a lot of heart.

Ramadan Giving

Unity for Human Dignity Day, is sponsored by Rahima Foundation, as well as some other local organizations. This event is scheduled for Saturday September 29, 2007 in both San Jose and Oakland. The plan is to serve 1000 homeless in the two locations, sharing the blessings of this month with the less fortunate population and greater community. They will serve hot lunches & homemade cookies and give some personal items to the attendees. As part of this effort it has become a tradition for some of the local schools to have their families bake cookies as a little sweetness to give with the meals. It is a wonderful way to not only give a little but to take the time to contemplate how much we have to be grateful for. For more information please contact Rahima at mail@rahima.org or www.rahima.org .

Another wonderful organization that serves on both a national and international level is Islamic Relief. I was recently at one of their events and was very surprised to hear that the most of their donations actually come from Non-Muslims. It is a Four Star Charity that is known for its vast and good work.

Islamic Relief Coordinates Nationwide Effort to Serve the Homeless in Ramadan For the sixth consecutive year, Muslims across the United States will be taking to the streets to help serve the homeless while fasting in the month of Ramadan. The annual “Humanitarian Day” event for the homeless and needy, coordinated nationwide by Islamic Relief for the third year, is expanding to 19 cities this year and will serve an estimated 25,000 needy people in the weekend of Sept. 29-30. Thousands of volunteers will be busy providing essentials to the homeless, such as a warm meal, a gift package including hygiene and emergency kits, bath towels, clothing, blankets, ponchos, or toys for children. In addition, beneficiaries will also be provided with free health screenings. “My first experience of Humanitarian Day was something I will never forget; something I will probably carry for the rest of my life,” noted a first-time volunteer. The Boston Herald reported, “‘You don't see much out there to try to help people who are in need,' a homeless veteran said…It was a declaration of appreciation for the ‘Humanitarian Day for the Homeless' event at the center, sponsored by Islamic Relief.” Islamic Relief's domestic projects have increased tremendously over the years, exemplifying our commitment to aid communities and people in need right here in our own backyard. In addition to our Hurricane Katrina efforts – where $3.2 million in aid has helped over 60,000 people - Islamic Relief is continuously involved in assisting needy individuals and families within the U.S. and working with community organizations to improve people's livelihoods. We encourage you to share in the blessings of Ramadan with your neighbors. Please donate generously towards this important project.
