Snowsuits for one and all!

Once again the MAC Give Committee would like to thank our WONDERFUL volunteers for coming out and sharing in another successful event!
The Snowsuit Fund allowed our volunteers to participate in handing out snowsuits to many of our neighbors who are not able to afford to buy ones sold at our local malls. The sadness of this situation is only intensified by the fact that some of us may not realize the money constraints that many face and how debilitating this can be for many families. Participating in events like these help us as Muslims, as citizens of the world, as humanitarians understand that our duties in helping others are not limited to one event per month but rather span every moment of every day--because small opportunities to help others surround us everyday.
Alhamdulillah we had so many warm hearts sign up for this event that we were unable to accommodate everyone however please don't be discouraged if we weren't able to accept your kind offer for help this time around, as we have a volunteer event every month inshallah. Continue to check back here for more details or feel free to email us at: mygottawa@gmail.com, we love hearing from you!!
May Allah reward everyone for all their hard work.

Sincerely,
MAC Give Committee

MAC Give's October Event!

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "The believer's shade on the Day of Resurrection will be his charity." - Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 604

The Snowsuit Fund is an Ottawa-based charity that raises funds for the purchase and distribution of snowsuits to needy children, 15 years of age and under, within the community.
The fund cannot run without the generosity of the community--from money donations to the volunteers who work to distribute the snowsuits. For our October event, we are looking for volunteers to help distribute the hundreds of snowsuits in their warehouse to those in need.

WHEN: Saturday, October 27, 2007 at 9:00am – 12:00pm
WHERE: 225 Donald St. – the Snowsuit Fund Warehouse and Distribution Centre
WHAT: Volunteers will be working in pairs to serve and distribute snowsuits to families and children in need.

Please sign up by Friday, October 19, 2007 by e-mailing your full name, e-mail address and phone number at mygottawa@gmail.com
This is one of the most rewarding experiences to give back to your local community for the sake of Allah. The families and children are very grateful for your support.

Jazakum Allah Khairan,
MAC Give Committee
