As we approach the first anniversary of the Muslim Cultural Society of Dublin (MCS Dublin), we are honored to reflect on the incredible journey we have embarked on together. The generosity and support of our community has been instrumental in building a stronger, more connected community.
Our Milestones Over the Past Year
With your support, MCS Dublin has:
✅ Transitioned from an informal community group into a recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
✅ Established meaningful partnerships with the City of Dublin and Dublin Unified School District (DUSD). Through these partnerships, we donated books and Ramadan decor and collaborated with Stand for Students to provide Ramadan resources across all 13 DUSD schools.
✅ Engaged our MCS Dublin Youth Committee in impactful initiatives, including a district-wide Ramadan Food Drive for the DUSD Food and Assistance Pantry that you can donate nonperishable food towards at the MCC Eid Bazaar on April 5th.
✅ Organized a Kids Against Hunger food packing event, where volunteers packed 2,647 meals for those in need.
✅ Proudly represented our growing community in our first-ever St. Patrick’s Day Parade Entry.
✅ Hosted our first annual Neighborhood Iftar, welcoming friends, colleagues, and classmates—many of whom had never been to an iftar before—to experience the beauty of Ramadan.
These accomplishments were made possible by the generosity and commitment of our supporters who are committed to strengthening our community. As Ramadan comes to a close, we invite you to continue this journey with us.
