People came from miles around and were treated with as much food and flowers as they could pack, including the staff at Pacifica Radio Corporate and KPFA. This event was sponsored by Masjid al-Islam– The Oakland Islamic Center-, Masjidul Waritheen– , Jama’atus Salaam– , Go Wireless, Emad’s Tune Up, and The Justice For Ali Campaign– all of Oakland.

KPFA’s employees now want to do this donation on a weekly basis after the overwhelming back-to-back-to back successes of the previous public food give-aways that had people calling and coming from as far away as Santa Barbara and north/east to Oregon and Nevada! There are no words to express the sincere gratitude and “Thanks” conveyed on the part of the public and the employees and staff at Pacifica Radio and KPFA. JOB WELL DONE!!! The June 25, 2009 event was sponsored by Masjid Tasbeeh, The Muslim Community Center, Jama’atus Salaam, Go Wireless, Emad’s Tune Up, and The Justice For Ali Campaign.

These type of promotions are impossible without their involvement in these efforts. This is incredible outreach with invaluable goodwill established!! On several occassions it has pointed out to many people at Pacifica/KPFA, a young man standing next to Snoop Dogg in a framed picture proudly displayed on the main wall outside their main conference room, from a Tookie Williams rally held in November 2005. That young man is Imam Abu Qadir al-Amin. They were even more humbled when they acknowledged that he and the Muslim Community Center was one of the sponsors for this event.

The “Thank You’s” to the Masjids and Muslims businesses; Masjid al-Islam, Masjidul Waritheen, and the Oakland Islamic Center, as well as Muslim business owners Go Wireless Mobile and Emad’s Tune Up, all of Oakland, California for their invaluable support in providing all the food and floral decorations with 100’s of bouquets of flowers and more for the “Nadra Foster Benefit” at La Pena Restaurant in Berkeley was aired live on the “Full Circle Show” with Host Joy Moore on Friday, June 19, 2009 at 7:00 PM. Part 2 of that broadcast was a week later on KPFA. Oddly enough, while the broadcast was being aired, unbeknownst to the crew, one of our employees was there providing food and refreshments for them for their enjoyment after the show. They still have not stop thanking him and the above mentioned parties. You can listen to or download the broadcast of the “Thank You’s” mentioned above by clicking on this link.

The station listeners and employees have  spread the word to support and acknowledge the great work these masjids and businesses are doing for our communities and a better understanding of Islam. Masjid Tasbeeh– Oakland, The Muslim Community Center– San Francisco, and Jama’atus Salaam– Oakland, Go Wireless, Emad’s Tune Up, and The Justice For Ali Campaign– all of Oakland, recently sponsored a “Free Food Giveaway” at the Black Dot Cafe with KPFA’s Hard Knock Radio, Full Circle, Block Report Radio Programs. This group of radio programs and organizations announced their “Thank You’s” to the islamic groups on air and published them in that weeks Bay View Newspaper in San Francisco and now wants to have the donations all over Northern California on a weekly basis! After the overwhelming success of that event, we received the following email requesting to have two more at locations in Oakland and another two in San Francisco on a weekly basis. They want to do a news story about the wonderful charity on behalf of the Aaron & Margaret Wallace Foundation, the Masjids and businesses that make this all possible. Here’s the email:

Subject: re: Food Giveaways
Greetings Abdul Jalil,
T-Kash is going to do the on-air thank you’s to the donors of the POCC Grocery Giveaway, on KPFA’s Friday Night Vibe, this week, which airs between 12-2am. Also I would like to know if we could do the food giveaway on July 23rd in East Oakland at the Manzanita Rec Center on 22 Ave and East 27th at 4pm and on July 30th at the Black Dot. I will also write an article and take photos at these upcoming events so that I can write a story that is published in the August edition of the Bay View. We will use the story to also thank the donors.
Let me know what you think.
