Detroit, 17 Rabiul Awwal 1436/8 January 2014 (MINA) – Two Muslim organizations are donating $100,000 to provide assistance to Detroit residents facing water shutoffs or recovering from recent flooding.

The Michigan Muslim Community Council has partnered with Islamic Relief USA, the largest Muslim charity organization in the country, to help thousands of households at risk of having their water shut off, AP quoted by Mi’raj Islamic News Agency (MINA) as reporting.

The grant will be divided between the Detroit Water Fund, United Way of Southeastern Michigan and Wayne Metro Community Council.

Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan spearheaded an effort to assist families struggling to pay utility bills by establishing the city’s water fund and a plan for residents to receive help.
