Khidmat-e-Khalq – 1st JazakAllah to Nazim, Tariq Habibullah Sahib, for hard work and organizing the activities in all the areas: Adopt-a-family program, blood drives, soup kitchens, visiting elderly, clothing donations. 2. Finance ( Outstanding Majlis ) JazakAllah to Nazim, Waqar Nadeem Sahib for consistently giving time throughout the year and ensuring collection and participation. 3.

Aitmad Recognition: JazakAllah to Motamid, Mahfooz Sheikh Sahib who has always been with me every day for every day communication and arranging every month Amila and General meeting regularly and also on time reporting.
	Khidmat e Khalq Activities November 2009 Tulsa:  A group of Khadim went to a local homeless shelter and were able to feed approximately 50 residents. It went very well and the residents were very grateful. At the event they were also able to get the message of Islam out. Dallas: Adopt-a-Family Kathleen Lesko is a poor lady with some health conditions and skin disease. She lives by herself in an apartment. She called our mosque and asked for help with food and some household items. Since she had health conditions she was in need for specific food items and needed specific brand of dish washing soap etc. For her we purchased about 12 cans of vegetables, beans & fruits, dish-washing liquid, paper towels, tissues and bedding set. Soup Kitchen This month we prepared and distributed meals to around 230 homeless/poor people. Two separate activities were performed at two different locations. One was at homeless meal distribution point in South Dallas and the other at Samaritan Inn Mckinney TX where food and manpower both were provided by khuddam. Visits to Elderly care facilities Khuddam participated in two meals-on-wheels drives where lunch was delivered to 26 elderly people in elderly care homes within 3 miles radius. Mohtamim Sahib, I am not sure if this should be reported under Soup Kitchen as well because in this activity we go door to door to elderly/sick people and provide them lunch boxes. Clothes drive About 30 items of clothes and shoes were donated this month.
