Reem Saleh’s Research Muslims Giving Back

Muslims Giving Back a Non profit organization established in 2014 also known as MGB based mainly in Brooklyn, Ny. I got to speak with one of the volunteers at Muslims Giving Back and she disclosed to me the purpose and goals of MGB. MGB’s purpose is to serve their local community of all religious and ethnic backgrounds because one of their beliefs as Muslims is to give to those around you. They believe that they shouldn’t be hiding in their boxes so nobody knows who they are and have zero influence on the people in need right in front of their eyes. Their goal is to find issues in their community like homelessness, hunger, domestic violence, and to tackle them in whatever ways they can. They do a lot of projects like making sandwiches and hot meals for the homeless and distributing them at Pen Station every week, they work with a woman’s shelter in Brooklyn called Asiyah woman’s shelter by fundraising for them and volunteering to provide emotional support for the residents of the shelter, they do projects known as project transform where we completely transform the home of someone who has nothing, usually widows or refugee families and make their homes beautiful and cover their rent until they get back on their feet. MGB is big on social media and they also really emphasize going out into the community and talking to people about who they are. Many times you’ll find them in the train station just talking to people and answering questions. Muslims giving back’s future goals include being able to impact more people, expand their volunteering team, and fund for bigger projects that give people aid internationally.
