Building Resilience: Giving Back to the Community
For over 25 years, the Council of Islamic Organizations of Greater Chicago (CIOGC) has dedicated itself to service to promote mutual understanding and the common good. Over the past two decades, CIOGC has nurtured relationships with various faith communities, and through CIOGC’s Zakat Committee, CIOGC has been able to establish food pantries, free health clinics, and youth programs across the Chicagoland area. With many partnerships CIOGC can provide numerous services, including emergency food assistance, crisis intervention, rental assistance for victims of domestic abuse, childcare, youth tutoring, mentoring, senior citizen support, and much more.
All of this has only been possible through your generous support. We encourage you to donate to CIOGC and commit to taking part in social events and programs. Here’s how you can participate-
