<div>This Ramadan, The Muslim Education Center (MEC) in Charlotte, NC, calls for your support. As we gather for iftars, Taraweeh, and spiritual growth, the need to maintain our vibrant community center becomes crucial.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The center currently accommodates over 3,000 people per week through its hosting of daily programs and activities. With over 35,000 square feet, facility maintenance and renovations, while being absolutely necessary for the continued functioning of our center, incur very high costs. Examples include regular repairs to bathrooms, doors, windows, ceilings, floors, and walls, in addition to major work relating to the HVAC system, electricity, and plumbing. As our center accommodates more people, the expenses related to utilities are also rapidly increasing to a point that Friday collections are unable to cover the cost. Additional funds are critical to cover the annual deficit, with monthly donations having a tremendous impact. Your continuous and recurring support is vital in maintaining our valuable community.

<div><strong>Your Impact:</strong> Your Zakat and Sadaqah this Ramadan will directly help cover essential utilities and maintenance, supporting a place where faith and community thrive.
