Salaam Alaikum, Peace be with you 

It's volunteer appreciation week, and we can't thank our volunteers enough for all the amazing things they've helped set up at UMF. 

Did you know that UMF runs mainly on volunteer fuel! Our Guides Lieutenants and Advisors work tirelessly to ensure exciting programs for the children each month, while our HungerTeam volunteers work tirelessly on the ground in local communities, getting help to those in need. Our Uni'Tea' participants and speakers give their time and share their expertise and talents with Muslims who come to enjoy the programs from all over town and our Board Members direct the organization forward, putting many hours into the strategic planning and vision that makes UMF successful. And then there's those who help us market events, sell discount cards and event tickets, offer us space to host activities,  create fliers, logos and video ads, and so much more! They say it takes a village to raise a child, so you can only imagine the scope of community involvement  it has taken to make UMF the success it is today, a decade later.

Here's to you Volunteers and Donors, who help make it all possible!

This month's UMF Breakfast Club at Rescue Outreach Mission was another success thanks to our fabulous volunteers. Many meals were cooked, donated items were enjoyed, and smiles were shared! Thank you, UMF Volunteers. Come out and meet our HungerTeam at our next UMF Breakfast Club on April 26th! We are always looking for donations for this event so feel free to donate anytime, even if you cannot attend the events.

UMF Scholarship
 
One of the things we love to do at UMF is help motivate students to get involved in community service. Those community service hours can be used towards applying for our annual $4,000 scholarship award. As with most scholarships, there are many students qualified to receive the award but few that apply. You just need to be a high school student or college student willing to spend several minutes completing our application online of May 31st. Don't miss this opportunity to be our award winner for 2014!
