(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - A free Christmas meal for the homeless will be served from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday at the Islamic Society of Greater Oklahoma City’s mosque, 3815 N St. Clair Ave.
The society will partner with the Islamic Council of Oklahoma and the Council on American Islamic Relations-Oklahoma City chapter to provide the dinner.
Islamic Society spokesman Saad Mohammed said transportation from the Jesus House and City Rescue Mission will be provided to the mosque. He said free blankets will be provided in addition to the meal.
“This is a time of giving and providing for those who cannot provide for themselves,” he said.
Imad Enchassi, the society’s president and imam, said the meal is the Muslim community’s way of recognizing the “Season of Giving.”
“Our faith teaches us to reach out to those who are in need,” Enchassi said.
