On Saturday, August 29, 2020, on the occasion of Ashura, the martyrdom of Imam Hussain (AS) and his companion, the ICCNC volunteers prepared, cooked, and packed 360 hot meals (lentil and rice, meatballs, and apple juice) for the Oakland’s unsheltered population. The youth volunteers prepared handwritten messages of hope and encouragement on each of the boxes. The meals were picked up and distributed by the Berkeley Free Clinic’s volunteers.

Dr. Vahidnia, her mother, and her daughter Melika Darvishzadeh
Dr. Kermani and Dr. Golshirazi and their two daughters Mariam and Fatemeh
Mr. and Mrs. Shirinbab and their son Janan
Dr. Sara Mostafavi and her daughter Aala
Dr. Haeri, her sister, and daughter Yeganeh
Ms. Sara and her three children
