As Muslims, each of us is charged with the mission to help our needy brothers and sisters. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said "He who finds relief for one who is hard pressed; God will make things easy for him in the Hereafter."

ICNA Relief is an organization which strives to accurately represent Islamic values and compassion, serving humanity regardless of race, religion, or culture according to the guiding principles of Islam.

"(The righteous are those) who feed the poor, the orphan and the captive for the love of God, saying: 'we feed you for the sake of God Alone; we seek from you neither reward nor thanks." ( Quran, 76:8-9)
In many ways, America is the land of plenty but Hunger is also a reality for many Americans, even in our own backyards. People in every community face the risk of going hungry. 49 million Americans struggle with hunger, including 17 million children. (http://feedingamerica.org).
ICNA -Relief Kansas City has been organizing Feed the Hungry program from May 2009. Frequency of this program is every other week. Muslims are encouraged to invite and share the great value of their beliefs with others and to fulfill the rights of their neighbors, colleagues and friends throughout their life.
Prophet Muhammad (s) mentioned the rights of neighbors upon a Muslim in this eloquent narration “The rights of the neighbor is that, when he is sick you visit him; when he dies, you go to his funeral; when he is poor you lend him (money); and when he is in need you protect him.”
It is this reason why the volunteers of ICNA Kansas City devote their time and energy to fulfill their obligation and serve the community at large. It is our desire to fight against human sufferings, by assisting our neighbors in achieving basic needs that all human beings are entitled to

To gladden the heart of human beings, to feed the hungry, to help the afflicted, to lighten the sorrow of the sorrowful, and to remove the sufferings of the injured." (Bukhari)
