While America is the land of abundance, hunger remains a reality for many Americans. On July 11th, Zakat Foundation of America fed 700 people at Masjid At-Taqwa located in the heart of Brooklyn, New York. Masjid At-Taqwa is led by world renowned Imam Siraj Wahhaj and it boasts an eclectic and dynamic community.
