Humanity above all else, that’s what we stand for. We simply can’t rest when our sisters and brothers in humanity face injustices. For nearly two decades, the Zakat Foundation of America has stood with the oppressed – whatever their creed or color. Now is no time to rest and stay silent.  

Bring Aid & Healing to St. Paul - Minneapolis
We are swiftly bringing much-needed aid to minority communities impacted by police brutality in the Minneapolis–St. Paul region. Our team is hard at work building new partnerships to help distribute this aid. We are activating our Minneapolis humanitarian networks to make an immediate impact – BUT WE NEED YOUR HELP. 

The small but vital businesses – mostly owned by African Americans and immigrants who live and work in the community – have been burnt down and vandalized by outside instigators and left the most vulnerable people without easy access to food and essentials. 

Zakat Foundation relief specialists are gearing up for immediate food aid distribution to quickly supply people with urgent food needs. 

This unrest has hit Minneapolis at a precarious time. The city remains caught in a rising coronavirus pandemic tide. Hennepin County, which holds Minneapolis, faces the scary confluence of unexpected protest crowds, the dismantling of local businesses and infrastructure in these already impoverished neighborhoods. 

YOU CAN HELP. Help us respond quickly to the multiple levels of humanitarian need, all of which come down to the most human of rights –food, health, and justice.
