Our Place Social Services Network  - Hamara Ghar - Baytuna - Chez Nous - Nuestro Lugar

Muslims Against Hunger is a north American network of volunteer communities to help the hungry and homeless in our backyard. it is a volunteer run grass root effort to mobilize and educate the Muslim community and the community-at-large about the problems of Hunger, Poverty, and Homelessness. Muslims Against Hunger Soup Kitchen projects are feeding hot lunches and dinners to homeless, hungry, and working poor in 20 cities with the help of 2000 plus volunteers from various faiths. It is an Islamic tradition to feed the poor and needy. Serving at the Soup kitchen gives the Muslim community an opportunity to participate in the "Act of Righteousness" and show the community-at-large the true and compassionate face of the Muslims and Islam.

Currently we are running broad range of interrelated programs to alleviate hunger and homelessness including Soup Kitchen projects. We are working to help start Soup Kitchen projects around the US and Canada by organizing and training Muslim volunteers in how to start and run soup kitchen and homeless shelter support projects.

In June 2008, we started an effort to save a Homeless Day Time Drop-in shelter know as Our Place in Morristown, NJ www.ourplacemorristown.org from closing down due to financial and management issues.

Our projects are not only helping to feed the hungry, but are also creating a silent dialogue and helping to get diverse groups of individuals together to work for a common cause. In doing so, we begin to learn from one another and grow in our understanding of one another. 

Halal Soup Kitchen and Social Service Center Project "Halal and Healthy Meals for All"
Muslims Agianst Hunger has started a multi-phase project to establish Halal Soup Kitchens and poverty-relief Social Services Community Center in Newark, New Jersey and Morne-a-Bruler, Haiti. These projects will be the first Halal Soup Kitchens in the Americas. Muslims Agianst Hunger will raise the seed money and provide the management services to the proposed Halal Soup Kitchens and Social Services Centers named Our Place/Chez Nous/Hamara Ghar/Baytuna.

The Halal Soup Kitchen and Social Services Center will implement vast array of programs that would provide all the basic human needs vital to day-to-day survival; Daily Soup Kitchen with hot meals, showers for the homeless, and free medical care; job training; classes in English as a Second Language, literacy, computers, office skills and sewing; tutoring for kids in math, reading and science; and a community wide adopt-a-needy family program. The community center will be dedicated to relieving the poverty by taking a holistic and humanitarian approach with the underlying goal of lifting the needy out of poverty and into self-sufficiency.

The center’s underlying mission will be to provide the means and the path to self-sufficiency... to “break the bonds of poverty.” It will provide opportunities and support essentials to reducing, and hopefully, eliminating reliance on public and private assistance. And, it will all be done in a manner that maintains the dignity and self-esteem of recipients.
