HOW YOU CAN HELP: APRIL 2022

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 Metropolitan Organization

    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.

    The Minaret Foundation

     Our mission is to lift American Muslim voices for sustainable change through multi-faith and civic engagement. Relationship building is our core.
