Sakinah for Seniors
Our dedicated team of volunteers are in touch with Senior Muslim women living on their own to offer help with shopping and Doctor visits etc. Once a month the Seniors are picked up and brought to HOS where they have lunch and are given beneficial information about other beneficial services they can avail, Doctors etc.
School Breakfast Program
We supply Breakfast supplies each term to two Local Public Schools and even serve breakfast to them on selected dates that are given to us. Many children come to school without having breakfast due to many issues and so suffer with concentrating and focusing on their studies.

products.
