IRUSA Aids Furloughed Federal Workers Hit Hardest By The Shutdown

Recently many furloughed federal workers and their families wondered where their next meal will come from, and Islamic Relief USA refused to sit idly by. We were proud to have distributed free meals and cash assistance federal workers who were most vulnerable during the past challenging time of the shut down.

Disaster Response Team Receives $500K grant from American Red Cross

Islamic Relief USA received a nearly $500,000 grant from the American Red Cross for rebuilding projects helping those who lost homes in Hurricane Harvey (August 2017).

“We’re extremely pleased to receive this grant from such a respected organization and partner,” said Hani Hamwi, manager of the Disaster Response Team.

The grant will fund a dormitory for volunteers to stay at during Houston home rebuilding projects. IRUSA plans to rebuild between 15 and 20 homes each year.
