ANNOUNCING ARIZONA MUSLIM SENIOR SERVICES (AZMSS)
Assalamu alaikum dear community members,
We are in the process of forming a non-profit organization named Arizona Muslim Senior Services (AzMSS) to service and engage the senior Muslim population with education, support and activities. During these tough times of pandemic isolation and social disconnect, which is particularly detrimental to seniors wellbeing, a call to action was answered by a group of professional community volunteers who committed themselves to this project. Currently we have a board of directors and committee members, an advisory council and support volunteers alhamdulillah. We are initiating virtual programs via Zoom at this time, and plan to host live events once the pandemic is over Insha’Allah.
Our website is under construction and a Facebook group and page has been created https://www.facebook.com/Arizona-Muslim-Senior-Services-AZMSS-169317814804160/?view_public_for=169317814804160&ref=page_internal
For those without Facebook access, they can stay updated on our WhatsApp group (AZMSS Members). Members will be added with the contact info provided.
We request your assistance in distributing our needs assessment survey. This will help us to provide relevant and responsible programming to our members.
