The food was greatly appreciated and those serving the commuters were kind and thoughtful. I got the chicken and it was expertly seasoned. It would be great to include a recipe for a capturing item under your banner.

Bibi and her crew have enormously helped my husband and I (both retired). We eat much healthier by receiving these food bags. Dar-us-Salaam has a well-organized system that moves everyone through the line quickly but humanly. And to top it off their prepared food is especially delicious. Kudos!

Back to school drive was very organized and well put-together very thoughtful. This was such a help to so many needy families providing cooked food and perishable items and backpacks with supplies for students that was awesome I hope other cities and states follow in your footsteps and help the community that are in dire need.

I work for Coronavirus Task Force in Virginia, we serve clients who are in isolation and quarantine due to COVID diagnosis and exposure. Ansaar-Ul-Birr has been an amazing partner through this past year for us and our clients in need. They are only a phone call away and has provided our clients everything from ready meals and groceries to pillows and sheets, rental assistance to masks and toilet paper.
I’m very lucky to have built a community partnership with this amazing and generous nonprofit organization who goes above and beyond the call of duty to help those in need. Thank you for being the best part of our organization!

Beginning with my first contact with Bibi at Ansaar-Ul-Birr, The kindness and generosity of Bibi, Ansaar-Ul-Birr and their volunteers has been overwhelming. They have continuously provided for individuals and families in our area. Some of these families would not have had dinner that evening had it not been for the giving of this organization and their donors. They are consistently responsive, caring and compassionate to those in need.

When you become jobless during a Pandemic, you can become hopeless also.
Ansaar-Ul-Birr is an nonprofit organization that distrubts food and neccesities
to anyone unable to provide those needs for themselves.
Ansaar-Ul-Birr gave my son hope. He is thankful for the donations.
The donations were given with care and he felt
humbled that someone would care about his situation at this time.
We, as a family are grateful to Ansaar-Ul-Birr for helping my son.
It also helps us, and we appreciate it very much.

As a senior residing in College Park, I have had over the years, the opportunity to observe and witness the outpouring of community services from this organization. They are friendly, welcoming, and engaged. I can attest to their genuine outreach as I have been the recipient of many of their programs. Thank you for all that you do and bring to the residents.

Ansaar-ul-Birr is an active nonprofit organization whose volunteers graciously and tirelessly serve the community of College Park. One of its services is collecting food whose expiration date is approaching or whose packing is slightly damaged from grocery stores and distributing it to local residents. The organization’s efforts are much appreciated, particularly in this time of pandemic, unemployment, and economic uncertainty. My wife had two surgeries, and while she recovered from both of them, Ansaar-ul-Birr monitored our situation and provided kind assistance. Indirectly, the organization’s activities also help Earth’s biosphere by redirecting food—which, otherwise, would be discarded, most likely—to people who are struggling to keep a step ahead of a brush with food insecurity. Reducing food waste through redistribution is a relevant activity for addressing the overlapping issues of overproduction, inequality, and climate change.

This is an organization that makes miracles happen! They are in touch with the needs of the community, pull together resources from all directions, and get the hard work done. They have been a pillar in the DMV community and continue to assist the most vulnerable among us. It is no surprise that their services have reached beyond their local community. If it wasn’t for organizations like this, I’m not sure how many families would of survived the initial months of pandemic. Continue to be a light in our community!

This organization is the heart and soul of our community. The staff are always aware of the needs of those around them and are very timely in fulfilling them. The volunteers take their missions seriously and always deliver with a smile and a warm heart. They do not rest unless and until they are satisfied that those in need have been served and are comfortable. I have personally had the honor of helping and my family has benefited a few times as well and were impressed by their generosity and efficiency. I pray this organization continues to thrive and may the Almighty increase its successes.

As Salam Alaykoum! My name is Aicha! I would like to take the time to say that, this is a good organization for our community. They always make sure people have food on their table. They are doing door to door food delivery for the elderly people. They have done something for me personally that I will never forget. I was hospitalized for 2 weeks and they made sure my family never starved, by bringing food 2 to 3 times a week. Only the Almighty can reward them. Without forgetting about the furnitures, clothes and shoes that I got from them. I just wanted to say thank you for all the kind work you guys are doing for the community!!!

I have known this organization for many years, and have even volunteered with them many times. I am continuously impressed and grateful for all of the work that they do in my community to help people with food and with anything else they might need. The people who run this charity work tirelessly to help make my community a better place for our most vulnerable community members and I am proud to have worked with them and be a part of their community.

I would like to thank you BiBi Mohamed and Ansaar Ul Birr for your crucial service to me and the Prince Georges County community population during these unprecedented times. I cannot adequately convey what the service has meant to me and what the service has done for me. But I can say this: I would have been distressfully deficient in meeting my nutritional and personal needs without it. Nobody really knows the dire straits times like these can put one in unless they are in it, especially for the senior population. However, it is in times like these that we need to sincerely show our love one for another. True love is universal and is an action word that transcends all boundaries. You have demonstrated this love through your impartial service to all. I magnanimously thank you for your love, and I pray God’s continued blessings upon you all. You are truly servants of the Most High God. - D. Ward
