We are currently serving 4 county jails in Houston-Metro and Austin-Metro.
Harris County Jail (Houston, TX):
Our Current need is only for Jumah on Fridays 11am – 2pm. We need 24 male volunteers serving at least once a month to ensure our
brothers inside can pray Jumah salat, an obligation for the us (Fard Kifaya).
We also need female volunteers to visit the sisters on the female floors more regularly, as they desperately need the companionship of their
fello sisters.
