As Zakat Foundation of America’s (Zakat Foundation of America) operations expand, they officially launched an office on the East Coast in a meaningful way earlier this year. Based in Delaware, Zakat Foundation of America East Coast provides several social services locally as well as to impoverished communities in neighboring states.

“The decision to launch an office on the East Coast was to respond to devastating unemployment, underemployment, and inequity in education. Furthermore, the services we envisioned would eradicate the need for dependence on government aid and uplifting the morale of all people we support,” says the Zakat Foundation of America representative on the East Coast.

Among the many local programs Zakat Foundation of America East Coast delivers, tutoring program that assist over 35 students for:

  • SAT Prep (Preparatory College Exam)

  • Arabic Language Courses

  • Writing Workshop

  • Math (K-12th)

  • Arts courses

In addition to tutoring, Zakat Foundation of America East Coast introduced the first ever Muslim-run Food Pantry in the state of Delaware. The food pantry provides meals and non-perishable items for families periodically.
