Support for Victims of Northern California Fires

Dear Respected Community Member:

Assalamu 'Alaikum va-Rahmatullaahi va-Barakaatuh,

Our hearts and thoughts go out to the families impacted by the fires that raged through California which is one of the deadliest in our state's history with over 105,000 acres and officials fear coming high winds will make this fire more difficult to contain

We have reached out to Islamic Center of Chico who has stepped up and opened their hearts and mosque to evacuees. Tracy Islamic Center is supporting their efforts and is asking for our community to join us in remembering our neighbors to the north in our prayers and also helping with supplies and financially. All donations will be distributed directly to the Islamic Center of Chico, where mosque volunteers in Chico will distribute to evacuees.

Tracy Islamic Center is putting a call out to the community to drop off the below mentioned items to bins at Masjid Patio area by 2:00 PM this Sunday (11/18/2018) or to any Tracy Islamic Center Masjid Volunteer

• Blankets

• Sleeping bags
• Backpacks/ tote bags to carry items
• Tooth brush / tooth paste
