Al-Maaʿuun specializes in delivering ḥalāl Meals on Wheels to the Twin-Cities metropolitan area. We know this is a trying time for each and every household. We are grateful to be of service in these times and will be here as we have been for the past 30 years to make sure our neighbors’ needs are met.
Al-Maaʿuun—rhyming with maroon—means "neighborly needs." Inspired by the teaching of the Holy Qurʾān [ch. 107] and housed in Minneapolis' historic Mosque of the Light, Masjid An-Nur, we partner with neighboring organizations, faith communities and individuals to meet the needs of our neighbors in North Minneapolis.
Meals on Wheels is a program that delivers meals to individuals at home who are unable to purchase or prepare their own meals. The programs also reduce government expenditures by reducing the need of recipients to use hospitals, nursing homes or other expensive community-based services.
Research shows that home-delivered meal programs significantly improve diet quality, increase nutrient intakes, reduce food insecurity and improve quality-of-life among the recipients - Zhu, Huichen; An, Ruopeng (1 April 2013).
