We are please to say, Compassion Action Foundation attended A Time To Be Grateful Muslim Journal Conference at the Hilton Meadowlands Rutherford NJ. It was an amazing opportunity to network and build bridges. Our volunteers traveled from the tristate area as well as Texas, for this collaboration. As we worked and served together we experienced mutual personal growth. What better way to end 2023 and move into 2024. Even in troubling times, there is A Time To Be Grateful !
Compassion Action Foundation and our collaborators had two amazing days of getting to know one another. A diverse group of women experienced intellectual stimulating workshops, creative art activities, cultural inspired food and a cutting edge fashion show in the California Bay area. The two day retreat began with shy engagement, by the end of the second day spirits felt full, friendships and sisterhood blossomed. If you want to have such an experience keep in touch. We are planning our 2024 Women’s Retreat schedule.
Bonding over food has a long running success between diverse groups of people. In Plainfield New Jersey two communities came together. This happened a result of volunteering at the. Masjidullah, food pantry established in the 1980s bad group of caring women,
321 Grant Ave, Plainfield, NJ 07060. After several years of serving the community together and getting to know each other, there is now a beautiful bond.
Compassion Action Foundation had the pleasure of celebrating with these two communities recently. The celebration took place in the new Central New Jersey Cultural Center, 80 Cottontail Ln,
suite 204 Somerset, NJ 08873
We had a delicious meal that served our bodies as well as our souls. Sharing stories around our different cultures was amazing. African American and Turkish American stories, educating and engaging. The room was full with great energy, laughter and smiles. The experience was an amazing gift. You too can get to know these two communities visit their two separate locations and engage in their service. We invite you to join us at one of our many Building Bridges events, across the United States of America. You may contact us for more information below:

The Paterson Great Falls a site to behold! It was a beautiful day in New Jersey, we enjoyed it. Listening to the National Park Ranger, as he shared the history of this National Park as well as a bit of science about the beautiful waterfalls. Breast cancer awareness and domestic violence dialogue was insightful. One of the women was a survivor of breast cancer and she shared her two diagnosis and the successful outcome. She also gave her first hand advice to us which we greatly appreciate it. Women shared things that they had not shared in years. The dialogue was therapeutic and empowering.
