Al-Farooq Masjid's Feed the Homless Program feeds around 220 to 300 homeless people every other Sunday. Please help us sustain this effort by donating at this link: https://us.mohid.co/ga/atlanta/afm/masjid/online/donation and select the category as 'Feed the Homeless'.

You can also volunteer to help in the distribution by meeting at Al-Farooq Masjid's elevator lobby at 10am to pack around 220-300 lunch boxes for homeless and then head to the parks in downtown Atlanta to distribute the food.

Alhamdulilah, all the programs and initiatives that take place at Al-Farooq Masjid are run by a dedicated team of volunteers that take time out of their busy lives for the sake of Allah. We are always in need of additional volunteers to launch new initiatives and expand on our existing programs.
