Missouri, are planning the first Walk+Run event to raise money for the needy and the homeless in the eastern American state where almost a quarter of population live in poverty.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">As American Muslims, our faith teaches us that feeding others is a right that they have on us,<\/span>&#8221; Abbas Ali the co-founder and current President of Project Downtown St. Louis (PDSTL), said in a statement obtained by OnIslam.net on Tuesday, March 25.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Prophet Muhammad [peace be upon him] said that one of the best aspects of Islam is to feed others and greet those who you know and don&#8217;t know.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>PDSTL is a youth-based community service organization that has been feeding the homeless and hungry every Saturday morning in front of a local Islamic Center.<\/p>\n<p>Offering help to their community, the organization planned the first <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Walk+Run<\/span> event next April 20.<\/p>\n<p>The event is hosted by PDSTL, the Muslim Student Association Unity Project (MSA Unity) and the St. Louis chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-St. Louis).<\/p>\n<p>It was suggested to offer help to an increasing number of people living in poverty in St. Louis.<\/p>\n<p>According to the St. Louis area food bank, the city of St. Louis has 80,675 people living in poverty which is 23 percent of the population.<\/p>\n<p>There are 135,000 youth who are at risk of hunger and 85 percent of children enrolled in St. Louis Public Schools rely on free or reduced-cost meal programs.<\/p>\n<p>Organizers hope that the money raised during the event would be used to provide summer meals for families whose children no longer get free or reduced school breakfasts and lunches.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">We hope to attract people of all faiths to participate in this walk+run against hunger,<\/span>&#8221; said Faizan Syed, executive director of CAIR-St. Louis.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Our goal is to raise funds to feed the hungry and homeless within the city and to raise awareness of the problem in our community.<\/span>&#8220;<\/p>\n<p>Though there are no official estimates, the US is home to an estimated Muslim minority of six to eight million.<\/p>\n<p>An earlier Gallup poll found that the majority of Americans Muslims are loyal to their country and optimistic about their future in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>Another US survey has revealed that the majority of Americans know very little about Muslims and their faith.<\/p>\n<p>According to Islamic Shari`ah, a capable Muslim pays 2.5 percent mandatory payment and spend it to help the poor and the needy.<\/p>\n<p>In August 2013, Helping Hand for Relief and Development (HHRD) was recognized amongst the top 10 highly rated charities in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>The ranking was announced by Charity Navigator, the nation&#8217;s largest and most-utilized evaluator of charities which has developed an unbiased, objective, numbers-based rating system to assess over 6,000 of America&#8217;s best-known charities.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Applying Islamic ethics in everyday life, US Muslim organizations in St. Louis, Missouri, are planning the first
