The Outreach Committee’s goal is to provide an area resource of knowledge about Islam, act as a community service center and provide a comfortable place for non-Muslims to meet with Muslims and gain a better understanding of Islam.
The IAGD Outreach Committee strives to:
1. Convey the true message of Islam
2. Work with local interfaith partners to promote peace and understanding
3. Understand and address the needs of the local, non-Muslim community
Your participation is needed for the upcoming CROP Hunger Walk in Troy, on Sunday May 1st. View Flyer for details.
