Program Overview
Neighborly Needs is Wasat's meal service program. Previous to the pandemic, we partnered with BIPOC catering businesses to feed 100 people every week of all faiths in South Seattle.
Wasat was conceived in 2012 by three American converts to Islam who wanted to create space for Seattle-area community members to connect, grow, and learn together. Many dreams and cups of coffee later, it is has grown into a vibrant community beloved by many, and a resource for those exploring Islam.
Wasat is an Arabic word that can mean middle-way, just, and balanced. It’s used in the Quran to describe the community that we are intended to be. It is from this concept that we draw our inspiration.
