In business or nonprofit marketing, it’s tempting to focus solely on calls to action: “Volunteer!” “Donate!” “Buy tickets!” “Sign up!” While these are important, at the Museum, we’re shifting our approach—creating content that fosters trust and genuine connection, rather than just demanding action.

Since 2018, Transervice Logistics employees have donated thousands of books, CDs, DVDs, and magazines to support Book Fairies, the largest nonprofit book donation organization in the Tri-State area. These materials are redistributed to under-resourced communities across Long Island and New York City's five boroughs, providing greater access to educational resources. In November 2024, Transervice broke its own donation record, marking the sixth consecutive year of partnership with Book Fairies. This ongoing effort helps ensure that children in underserved areas have equal opportunities to learn and grow.

Charity—whether through money, food, clothing, or toys—is a vital practice that we should make a regular part of our lives. In Islam, even a simple smile is considered an act of charity. It’s inspiring to see people dedicate their time and effort to something spiritually enriching while supporting those in need. Here are some key takeaways about charity and its significance in Islam. Charity helps alleviate poverty, reduce inequality, and strengthen bonds within the community, fostering a sense of mutual care and responsibility. Islam emphasizes that acts of charity, big or small, are significant in the eyes of Allah, as I said above even a smile can count as charity. In fact , Zakat(charity) is one of the Five Pillars of Islam, requiring Muslims to give a fixed percentage (usually 2.5%) of their wealth annually to help the needy, support social welfare, and promote economic balance. Charity is considered a way to purify one’s wealth and soul, reduce greed, and earn Allah’s blessings and forgiveness. The Qur’an and Hadith frequently promise immense rewards for those who give generously. Ultimately, charity benefits both the giver and the receiver, serving as a powerful means to foster a more just, fair, and compassionate society.
