Many brothers and sisters are sending cash to help the flood victims in Pakistan but you know many items are scarce in Pakstan. Brothers and sisters in GTA can donate non perishable food items, clothes (new and used but in good condition), medicines, tents, mosquito nets, insect repellents etc. to Jamia Islamia Canada (Mississauga). Please also look around your house and see what you could give to your brothers who are in dire need of your help.

Jamia Islamia will send the donations to Pakistan through PIA flights. PIA will carry this stuff free of charge. The first flight is leaving on Friday.

There is a community store adjacent to the masjid. You can also buy from that store and donate at the masjid.

Jamia's website is: www.jamiaislamia.org

Location Map: http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=q&hl=e....590626&spn=0.029094,0.077248&z=14&iwloc=addr

I can assist you if you wish to donate but could not reach Jamia Islamia. I can pick up your donations and deliver them to Jamia on Saturday and Sunday. Please send me a message if you need my help in this regard.
Jazakallah

Jazak Allah for sharing very important information.

I really appreciate the initiative taken by Jamia Islamia for helping the flood victims and your dedication for this noble cause..

A humble request to all friends, never ever ever pay cash to any charitable organization or mosques, always pay by cheques or credit card.

How reliable this Jamia Islamia Group is ? who runs it ? what is it's previous reputation in earthquake relief efforts ?

I remember during earthquake relief efforts days people gave their zakat to one famous Pakistani religious group in GTA and the money given in cash and expensive stuff was never sent to Pakistan. It's your money/zakat etc, it's you responsibility to make sure it gets to the right people.

Brother, USED CLOTHES are the problem. I called PIA as well as Jamia Islamia to confirm about used clothes. They are not taking used clothes as donation. I already got 2/3 bags of clothes from other people and now I don't have any way out. BTW I've checked with ISNA Canada too. They are not taking any donations except cash/cehque.

Anyone knows any other way to send used clothes?

Why don't you go and see for yourself who they are and what they are doing? They also sent goods at the time of earthquake. Its OK if you don't want to help but please don't distract others by your negative mindset. Instead of spreading suspicions why don't you do some research on them and let others know about it? Don't just criticize, give a positive solution.

Please also tell us about that religious group which you have mentioned that failed to send the donations to Paksitan.

Wrong info... Muslim Welfare Centre refused to take used clothes. Every organization who is using PIA to send their donations, won't take any used items. Anyone knows about any other channel to send used clothes?

Please donate by cash, used clothes probably is not a good idea as it will cost a lot to transposrt them from Canada ..more than the value of used clothes.
Its better to donate by cash. Used clothes can be given to local charities like kidney foundation here.

if you are not fully sure of the ntegrity of the organization, please send cash to your loved ones in Pakistan to donate themselves. But please do something..

GUYS LIKE CHOUDHARY-1960.... open your mind. Don't just paint everyone with same brush....You imlying that mosques are not trustworthy makes me wonder if you go to pray in masjid at all...
