Community Services at Masjed Assaber – Serving Portland with Compassion

Service Description:
At Masjed Assaber, we believe in embodying the spirit of charity and service, providing essential support to those in need through our wide range of community service initiatives.

With the guidance of Islamic values, our services foster unity and compassion, aiming to make a tangible difference in the Portland community.

What We Do at Masjed Assaber

Annual Ramadan Food Drives
During the blessed month of Ramadan, Masjed Assaber organizes large-scale food drives to support families in need. These food drives ensure that every individual has the necessary essentials to break their fast and celebrate Ramadan with dignity. Our packages include non-perishable food items and basic necessities that are distributed to local families. This initiative exemplifies the core values of charity, reflection, and community support during one of the most significant months in Islam.

Financial Assistance
Masjed Assaber provides one-time financial support to members of our community to help cover essential expenses like utility bills and rent payments. We understand that financial hardships can arise unexpectedly, and our goal is to offer immediate relief to those who qualify. The process includes an intensive review by our Sadaqa Committee to ensure that assistance is granted where most needed.

Guidance and Long-Term Support
Beyond immediate relief, Masjed Assaber collaborates with Islamic Social Services of Oregon State (ISOS) to offer long-term solutions to individuals and families in need. We assist in connecting community members to resources such as housing programs, job training, and food security initiatives. This partnership ensures that our support extends far beyond a one-time intervention, helping individuals regain stability and independence.
