Back2School Giveaway - Empowering the underserved youth by providing necessary school supplies to begin the school year.

The time of the year has arrived when the schools are reopening and school season shopping is underway. However, for many families right here in Houston, their economical circumstances prevent them from properly equipping their children for the beginning of the school year.

We are proud to present the 6th Annual Back to School Giveaway, in which we will be distributing backpacks filled with school supplies to kids living in economically disadvantaged areas, who otherwise wouldn't have the means to start school off with basic educational necessities, Insha'Allah.

We are counting on YOUR support and participation in facilitating a rewarding experience to many children in underserved areas as they begin school. We have set a goal of distributing over 1,500 backpacks this year and although a tall task, the need in the community is great and with your help, we are confident we can reach this goal, insha'Allah. Not to mention, this will serve as an excellent da’wah opportunity to showcase the generosity that is embedded in the teachings of Islam!

Please join us in this Back2School initiative in empowering children and their families by promoting the importance of education in our community.

Ways you can be involved in this project:
· SPONSOR a backpack: $15 per backpack including supplies
