Islamic Center of Pittsburgh
ICP Food Bank
The Islamic Center of Pittsburgh with the help of the Greater Pittsburgh Food Bank, has distributed over 20,000 pounds of food since its opening June 2009. We are now serving over 65 families. Alhumdallah! Muslims and non Muslim from all around the area, and from many different mesjids. We would like to be able to serve more of the community; we can only do this with your help.
We
ask that every Imam in the Pittsburgh area please announce to your
community about the food bank. We ask that every sister and brother look
to your friends, your neighbors, your family and if you believe they
qualify please refer them to the program! It is a very simply thing we
as Muslims can do to make sure that no one in our goes hungry.
