Sahaba Initiative is a nonprofit that was started 15 years ago by a group of driven high school students that wanted to create change in their local community. It began by providing small consistent acts of good such as gathering funds to assist a vulnerable family, hosting mental health support groups, and distributing groceries. Today our mission is to transform communities and support families in crisis through addressing core areas in housing, hunger, economic stability, and well-being.
We achieve this we have three community centers which include a family resource center a food and wellness center, and mental health center. Our team provides fresh food to over 350 families every week, assists hundreds of people with free counseling , and distributes over $250,000 in zakat and financial assistance every year.

Sahaba Initiative’s philosophy is to empower and sustain families in the American diaspora with programs that address mental health issues, poverty, hunger while also focusing on creating a narrative and culture of service. We aspire to build a legacy for the future that’s rooted in supporting one another and bringing people together of all backgrounds to empower and serve the most vulnerable.
