Give Zakat to ACCC Social Services Dear Community,
The ACCC wishes you all a blessed Ramadan. While there are so many incredible and much deserving causes to support this Ramadan, the ACCC requests your genorisity to support members of our local community who are going through trying times. Give Ramadan Zakat to support clients of the ACCC's Social Services Program. While things like a hot meal, a clean set of clothes, and a roof over our heads are something all of us take for granted, some of us are barely able to make it, especially in difficult economic times. Zakat can be made payable to the Arab Cultural and Community Center and sent to 2 Plaza Street, San Francisco, CA, 94116.
Thank you all, and Ramadan kareem! | | Save the Date: Arab Cultural Festival, October 1 Mark your calendars!
