Community Service

One review of 21 studies from 10 countries found that a healthful dietary pattern — characterized by high intakes of fruit, vegetables, whole grains, olive oil, fish, low fat dairy, and antioxidants, as well as low intakes of animal foods — was associated with a reduced risk of depression.

Conversely, a Western-style diet — involving a high intake of red and processed meats, refined grains, sweets, high fat dairy products, butter, and potatoes, as well as a low intake of fruit and vegetables — was linked with a significantly increased risk of depression. An older review found similar results, with high compliance with a Mediterranean diet being associated with a 32% reduced risk of depression.

Sometimes brothers and sisters feel a little lost or need a little help navigating through one of life’s storms. We stand ready to assist them through the Qur’an and Sunnah, while working with professionals in various fields to help them stay positive and solution oriented.

Just finding out where to get quality assistance can be a daunting task all by itself. Members of our team collectively have been working professionally to help those in need for decades. With this experience comes the necessary knowledge and contacts to provide referrals and the necessary support with compassion, while maintaining the dignity of those seeking help.

Our volunteers are always ready to hit the ground running! Whether it’s our own projects or we’re assisting another organization in their community service efforts, our volunteers are ready to contribute their time and sweat to achieve success while seeking the pleasure of Allah ﷻ.
