SGDI Serves: The Masjids
As-Salamu Alaikum, greetings SGDI Family,
We pray you are all well and safe. In the spirit of Ramadan, we are honored to announce that SGDI Serves is embarking on its 11th overall initiative, continuing the tradition of our 6th Annual Ramadan Service Campaign.
For the second consecutive year, we are serving right here at home in the United States, supporting our local masjids and the families within our community.
Alhamdulillah, this year we aim to assist at least 200 individuals by providing fresh produce, non-perishable food, and essential household goods to families during this blessed month of Ramadan.
Before going any further, we sincerely thank you for your unwavering support throughout the years.
2017: We hosted our first fundraiser, Kicking for a Cause, with all tournament proceeds benefiting the Feed the Children Foundation.
2019: We awarded $3,000 in scholarships to elementary, middle, and high school students.
2021: We provided food assistance to 250 families in N’gaye Meckhe Village,
Senegal.
2022: We stocked and served five homeless shelters across the East Coast.
2023: • We supported 300 children across five Arabic boarding schools in Senegal (N’gaye Meckhe, N’der, N’der Wolof, Getty, and N’dankhe)
• We awarded $7,000 in scholarships to middle school, high school, and college students.
2024: We nourished 250 families in Tampoto Village, Foni Bintang Karanai, The Gambia.
2025:• We served 100 families at the Southwest Family Center.
• We partnered with TMGM to provide book-bags to over 200 children.
Each year, you’ve helped us turn intention into impact.
Why This Initiative?
This year’s Ramadan Initiative is centered on relief, dignity, and community responsibility.
Our Mission & Vision
SGDI Serves exists to uplift communities through the help of Allah. We are committed to: Supporting children through scholarships and mentorship
Providing essential services to families in need
Serving the underserved in both the U.S. and West Africa
Through every initiative, our goal remains the same: to make a lasting difference, one life at a time.
How This Initiative Will Work
SGDI Serves will coordinate planning, promotion, fundraising, purchasing, and volunteer organization.
On distribution days, tables will be set up outside participating Masjids.
Volunteers will assist with organizing and preparing goods for families.
An assembly-line system will ensure an efficient, organized, and respectful distribution process.
The first 100 individuals at each location will receive prepared bags and be free to go.
This structure allows us to serve efficiently while maintaining dignity and care for every family we encounter.
Fundraising Goal
Our initial goal is $1,500.
However, with multiple masjids in surrounding areas and increasing need, reaching $5,000 would significantly expand our impact.
If we surpass our goal, we have transportation readily available to deliver supplies to additional local masjids and serve even more families across our community.
The more we raise, the more we can serve.
Items We Will Provide
✅ Fresh fruits (oranges, apples, grapes, bananas)
✅ Fresh vegetables (carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce)
✅ Bread
✅ Tomato paste
✅ Dry pasta
✅ Canned beans & tuna
✅ Sugar & flour
✅ Cereal

✅ Feminine hygiene products
✅ Diapers
✅ Socks & gloves
✅ Bar soap

✅ Toilet tissue
These essential items are designed to support both food stability and everyday household needs.

May Allah reward all of us for our efforts. Ameen.
With love,
SGDI Serves Management
