APRIL COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROJECT
You can help bring the world to a child in need when you donate a book in our Give a Kid the World Book Drive being held this month. Our faith community, along with other faith groups from across Fort Bend County, is trying to get 2000 books into the hands of 2000 local low-income students just in time for World Book Day in April. We are focusing on three FBISD elementary campuses: Arizona Fleming, Lula Goodman and Mission West. All three have a high percentage of disadvantaged families. Please consider following these links to the Amazon Wish Lists and order a book or two to be delivered directly to the schools. Remember, there are three schools so check out all three wish lists to find your favorite book to donate.

The Mission of Fort Bend Family Promise is to meet the immediate needs
of homeless families while empowering them to attain self-sufficiency.
The Department of Collaborative Communities will create and foster mutually beneficial partnerships with stakeholders that support and enrich student achievement and success.
It is the mission of the Fort Bend County Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management to create an environment of readiness for the whole-community through a comprehensive program of prevention, protection, mitigation, response, and disaster recovery.
The Metropolitan Organization (TMO) is an organization of institutions dedicated to developing power and leadership among citizens in order to transform the city.
TMO believes that a truly democratic society requires the active participation of ordinary citizens. When people lack the means to connect to power and participate effectively in public life, social relationships disintegrate. Our model of relational organizing helps build real community. It generates social capital through a tight web of relationships across lines of race, ethnicity, class, faith, and geography. This social capital enables us to participate fully in public life and to become more effective actors in our communities.
Our mission is to lift American Muslim voices for sustainable change through multi-faith and civic engagement. Relationship building is our core.
