Alhamdulillah, Building Blocks' food shelf at Abu Bakr Saddique Center  is now open. More than 100 families were served during our first weekend on Sept. 22 and 23.(Address: 2824 13th Ave South Minneapolis MN 55407)

While Abu Bakr Saddique Center is our first location, insha'Allah we hope to extend the service to other masajid and communities.

The foodshelf will be open 2-5 p.m. every Saturday and Sunday of Ramadan, insha'Allah.
We provide enough food to last an entire family 6 days. Supplies include rice, flour, oil, pasta, breads, canned vegetables, meat, etc.

(Applicants, please bring a valid ID and utility bill/official mail with current mailing address)

Pictures of the food shelf are now up in the photo gallery! Jazakum Allah Khairan to all the volunteers and supporters who have helped to make this project possible.

You too can play a role! We would like to run this project all year long on a monthly basis, inshaAllah - evidently, there is a great need and the community would benefit greatly from any contribution you make to help keep the foodshelf well-stocked. Remember, your zakat-ul-fitr can be used for this project. You can donate online or send checks to Building Blocks, 2534 Central Ave. NE, Minneapolis MN 55418.

May Allah, Subhanahu wa Taala, make this project a success. Ameen.
