Our mission is driven by islamic principles on charity and social responsibility and each individual is viewed as a Building block that reinforces the community. Building Blocks emergency assistance program has been a source of hope and relief. We have helped several families avoid eviction, move from shelters into a home of their own, keep their utilities on, or buy essential groceries.building Blocks food shelf program provides much needed sustenance to a large number of families each month (and special distributions during the month of ramadan put food on the table for a significant number of families as well). At a time when questions abound about Islam, Building Blocks has bolstered efforts to educate, reach out, and build bridges of understanding with other communities.
