Hunger in America

Let us join hands and be part of the solution

Hunger in America is becoming a reality for more and more families. There are now 47 million people in the US who qualify as poor and need to get Food Stamps to get by. This represents a 74% increase since just 4 years ago. The recession, the lack of jobs that do not pay enough to sustain oneself, and a lack of jobs period is at least partially responsible for this increasingly dire situation. We have a moral obligation to help those in need. Please donate towards this cause.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

OUR URGENT NEEDS

Serving our Creator by serving His Creation

Rahima Foundation is a local 501 C(3) Charitable and Educational Foundation, Tax ID No. 77- 0442850

We serve the people in need in our local communities regardless of religion, race, gender, or nationality

We provide uncooked food (perishable and non-perishable), Zakat, Scholarships, and other services

Since its inception 18 years ago, Rahima foundation has enjoyed the distinction of being an extremely grass-roots and locally-involved organization. The experience and service we provide to our clients is very personal and is tailored to meet the specific needs of our local community. We are one of the few charities, run by Muslims, that have volunteers of all ages from youth to adults

In our food distribution events you will see parents coming with their children. This helps promote a stronger family bond and helps members of a family share in the experience of giving and helping others, and further instills the value of charity in a person

When people volunteer at Rahima, at one of our events, they are directly helping people.There is no middle person or overseas organization involved

You can get involved in many ways and become a part of the Rahima Family, for example:

Register as a member and volunteer your time and skills based on your interests and our needs
Become a Rahima Ambassador at work and your community
Check with your HR dept. and apply for matching funds
Send your prayers and good wishes to Rahima
Donate any amount of Sadaqa and Zakat. Please remember those in need in our local community have priority
Donate stocks or other assets
Donate a used car to be given to a needy person / family

Due to the current economic down turn, the requests for financial assistance have been increasing monthly. We need your generous donation of Zakat to keep up with these needs.

In addition, we need your help for the following:

Expand the High School Scholarship Fund to more schools and more students
Expand "Adopt a Shelter Program" to more shelters in the Bay Area
Increase the level of tuition assistance to students at Silicon Valley Academy
We need more people to sign-up as Rahima Ambassadors in their communities and their place of work
