When there is nothing left to steal. They'll ensure your breath is stolen

Humanity Above All Else

Humanity above all else, that’s what we stand for. We simply can’t rest when we see the injustices faced by our brothers and sisters in humanity. Zakat Foundation of America has stood with the oppressed for nearly two decades, and now is no time for us to rest and stay silent.

“Beware of the supplication of the oppressed, for there is no barrier between it and God.”

– Prophet Muhammad, upon him be peace.

Zakat Foundation is swiftly bringing this much-needed aid to minority communities impacted by police brutality in the Minneapolis-St. Paul region. Our team is hard at work building partnerships to help distribute this aid, especially to food deserts. We are activating our Minneapolis humanitarian networks to make an immediate impact —

The small but vital businesses — mostly owned by African Americans and immigrants who live and work in the community — have been burned down and vandalized by outside instigators, leaving the most vulnerable people without easy access to healthy food options and essentials.

Zakat Foundation relief specialists are gearing up for immediate food aid distribution to quickly supply people with urgent food needs.

This unrest has hit Minneapolis at a precarious time. The city remains caught in a rising coronavirus pandemic tide. Hennepin County, which holds Minneapolis, faces the dismantling of local businesses and infrastructure in these already impoverished neighborhoods.

YOU CAN HELP. Help us respond quickly to the multiple levels of humanitarian need, all of which come down to the most human of rights — food, health and justice.
