Muslim Community Support & Services
Our Community Needs.........
As our diverse community population is approaching the 100,000 mark in greater Boston area, our community needs and social issues are growing. As the baby boomer generation reaches retirement age, a new set of social support would be needed. From a large list of projects that need to be worked to support our community, the following were picked based on need, availability of volunteers and finances.
Foster Care for Muslim Children
 | MCSS has been helping local needy families
with the Zakaat & Charity provided by local community. Requests
for help are increasing as more people learn about MCSS. The
reasons for request for financial help varies; temporary loss of
family income, family tragedy, uninsured medical bills, funeral
expenses are some examples. The type of people asking for help are
not only the ones on Government Welfare but also the working poor
that ran into unfortunate circumstances. Unless the Community seeks out
and offer help, this segment of our society they will be left
helpless ! |
| Recent examples of emergency help provided was to support a terminally ill, divorced mother of 3 young children during the last months of her life. Another was to an elderly single mother of a mentally handicapped son living in our area below poverty level income. |
