.The House of Faith Event February 9, 2014
The House of Faith event was a fun-filled afternoon! Thank you for your presence there. We got to share experiences and design ideal neighborhood! The House of Faith is an initiative with Habitat for Humanity sponsored by faith groups including the Muslim Coalition of Connecticut. It is an opportunity for people of faith to come together to build a home and meet those from diverse faith traditions! The house build site is 271 Laurel Street, Hartford, CT.
This was the second event to bring awareness about the House of Faith and was at the Berlin Mosque, Islamic Association of Greater Hartford, 1781 Berlin Turnpike, Berlin, CT 06037. This time the theme was neighborhood and the focus audience was primarily the youth of our communities. We had over 100 attendees.If you would like to attend the next event in April or build with us (building should start some time in March) please contact us.

On behalf of the Muslim Coalition of Connecticut I would like to thank every individual who served at the shelter. We served 160 men, women and children and all were so grateful for the good quality food we served. Many asked when we were returning! Thank you so much for your continued support in this venture.
Also thank you to all who donated soap which is an item in great demand at the shelter.
Please let us know if you would like to serve or cook for the next shelter serve which will be on May 10, 2014.
