Impact Report 2023
Islamic Social Services is the Muslim organization where community members can go for emergency assistance, support, and referrals. Our goal is to increase family success by providing a system of culturally sensitive, comprehensive, and responsive aid to their unique needs.
​There are many reasons we are called upon to assist families and individuals as they face rebuilding a life: major life changes, unemployed or under-employed, new arrivals to our community, refugees, coming out of homelessness, and displaced/battered women with children.
We encourage participants to achieve long-term success and independence by connecting them to integral services. This initiative gives families access to resources ranging from nutrition, health, and education, to housing, utility assistance, and employment. Islamic Social Services has established partnerships with local agencies, to be able to assist quickly and smoothly. Services provided are based on extensive needs assessments tailored to capture the
individual's overall circumstance and plan for sustainability.
Emergency Assistance
ISSSJ also provides emergency care packages containing food, personal hygiene products, clothing & shoes. We coordinate and distribute the resources of community-based partners and donated zakat funds.
Housing
Due to the housing market crisis, we are now seeing a major spike in housing needs. Our participants are receiving rent increases with less affordable housing options.
We currently do not have the funding to offer shelter. However, we have resources that may be able to help with rent and utilities.
Resources
Referrals are routinely made for health care, legal services, employment, utility assistance, counseling, housing, and childcare. With access to the right resources, individuals can become empowered by their own abilities and gain the confidence to fulfill their potential.
