It'aam Program
The Islamic Center of Hagerstown Meals for the homeless program (It’aam Program) packs 110 Meals for 110 homeless in Hagerstown, MD.
No questions asked and free of charge. While all the doors are closed in the face of the homeless during the weekends, The Islamic Center of Hagerstown open its doors. Our goal is to provide food to our neighbors who are in need. Our Muslim faith teaches us to take care of the hungry, sick, travelers, and the deprived. The Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “He is not a believer whose stomach is filled while the neighbor to his side goes hungry.”
