ISLAMIC SOCIETY GIVING OUT FOODS AND MASK

ISLAMIC SOCIETY GIVING OUT FOODS AND MASK

Of may.

Back in the tr?state?

While our muslim community is currently fasting for ramadan it isn't stopping them from helping feed the community.

Marisa patwa has the story.

Seven thousand?

The amount of pounds in food the islamic society of evansville has donated since starting their mobile food pantry in october 2019?

And their numbers have only increased during the pandemic "if we sleep at night with a full stomach and our neighbor is hungry?

We are not believers of god?

We are not fulfilling the will of god.

So that is why we do all these things" meals on wheels is distributing more than ever with food insecurity on the rise.

"we made about forty or fifty bags?

Thought that would be enough for our three to five time we have here at the islamic center and then i call about 45 minutes later that we ran out of all the bags, so i had to rush together?

Make about 20 or 25 more."

Other islamic society members are busy?

Sewing masks to keep the public safe?

And it a true team effort.

"when i bought eight to ten yards of material and i started cutting it?

I felt it was a challenging task for me.

But when my friends started calling me.

The islamic society?

They started calling me and the task wasn't as challenging."

The community can get served by the mobile food pantry from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m.

At the ck.

Newsome center and from 4 to 5 p.m at the mosque in newburgh.

Every friday for the indefinite future.
