Help Us Greet our Neighbors this Holiday Season!


Help Us Greet our Neighbors this Holiday Season

Everyone loves this time of the year whether you celebrate the holidays or not! In an effort to personalize the Muslim identity to our neighbors, we'd like to offer a simple and effective way to greet them. Let's say "Happy Holidays," "Merry Christmas," and "Happy New Year" by sending greeting postcards to everyone around us!


Here's the Plan

It's simple: Design and Deliver. We've already started! 

Along with great graphics, the card will entail a holiday greeting message and a Hadith to help our community become aware of our values. Once the design is complete we'll add an update to this page for you to see.

We are using a service called EDDM by USPS that allows us to send direct mail. We have to complete the postcard design by December 1st to deliver within the week of December 12th - December 16th. We'll deliver to each neighborhood and all we need is the zip code! 



Cost Breakdown

Design, print, and delivery of 1,000 postcards will cost $590

Design, print, and delivery of 2,500 postcards will cost $925

It gets cheaper and cheaper as we increase the number of postcards!

Design, print, and delivery of 50,000 postcards will cost approximately $15,000

Our goal is directed to our local neighborhoods for now. But if this funding exceeds our expectations, we're ready to deliver to entire zip codes or even states!


Meet the Team

Each one of us played a key role in the development of Muslim Neighbor. Mohamed came up with the idea and created a team. He has impressive skills in sales and marketing and will particularly benefit the next phase of Muslim Neighbor. Jasmine has excellent planning and organization skills that built a foundation for the project. She is exceptional in graphic design and will produce our postcards. Angie edited our video script and works behind the scenes to make sure we meet our milestones. She has a reputation of reaching her goals and will direct our campaign moves.

Donate and Share!

We want to kindle a healthy, Muslim-friendly environment in your neighborhood and ours. Donate what you can and be sure to share with friends and family! 

Update #3:

Thank you to our contributors once again for helping us all succeed!!


Update #2:

We've reached our 2nd goal of $1000 and will soon reach our 3rd goal of $1200 which will allow us to send triple the amount of cards we had hoped for, that's 3000+ cards!! Here's how NYC voted in this year's 2016 elections and a major determining factor in the neighborhoods we chose. Take a look at our home count and where our distribution areas.


Update #1:

We're so excited to have reached our initial goal of $600! After boosting it up to $1000, we're very optimistic too. Here is the design as promised! It'll be delivered between the week of Dec. 19th and Dec 23th, just in time :) Thank you to all our initial backers for making this possible!! Don't forget to spread the word!

Last Day for Muslim Neighbor!!

Hello Donors!

I can't believe I'm finally saying this -- today's the LAST DAY of the campaign. With only $29 left and a few hours to go, we're confident we'll be ready to deliver 3242 cards to 8 neighborhoods next week! This is beyond what we imagined (actually triple the amount!) and we are so grateful that you enabled us to reach further! Check out Update #2 on our page to find out the neighborhoods we've reached. This number doesn't even include those who've ordered cards to hand out themselves for their coworkers and friends in other states and countries! 

Thank you so much for your contribution. God willing, you will be the reason for changing someone's perspective and your Zakat will be rewarded.

We haven't reach our second goal yet but, the next 10 days are still looking bright. We're expecting to reach at least 5 different neighborhoods!! So far, Paramus, NJ and Staten Island, NY.
