1 in 10 households in Minnesota are affected by hunger


Masjid An-Nur is located in the heart of North Minneapolis.  At Masjid An-Nur we have a dedication to inter-faith dialogue & partnership.  In June 1996, we began working as a partner organization in an interfaith effort with the McKnight Foundation entitled "Congregations in Community".  Along with three major Christian organizations in the Twin Cities & the Jewish Community Relations Council, we formed a coalition designed to engage members of our various religious persuasions to volunteering.  Over 10,000 G-d fearing people joined this effort.

 

 In 1997, we began our food distribution program.   Our first month, we served 25 families. Due to the success of that program we established AL-MAA'UNN (The Neighborly Needs) Community Outreach Programs in 2009 as part of our Social Services arm to provide goods & services to the community.  Currently, we serve 300+ families on a monthly basis.

Hungry children, working adults and seniors are living all around us – and they need your help.

Too many of our neighbors are missing a meal today, even though there is plenty of food available to feed everyone. Food is a basic, core need for well-being. Our work focuses on how to alleviate the tremendous stress of not having enough, so that people don't have to worry about this basic need.  With your support on Give to the Max Day, we can make the holidays a little brighter for families in need.

Your generous contributions to our Give to the Max campaign will allow us to end the year on a high note. We are grateful for your support as we work diligently to grow & sustain the important initiatives at AL-MAA'UNN & Masjid An-Nur!
