s the winter approaches, different Muslim groups across the US have launched special clothing drives to help the needy and homeless in different American states. “As winter quickly approached, during the month of November, ICNA Relief volunteers organized efforts to protect them from the upcoming harsh winter weather,” the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA)’s Winter Clothing Drive, said on its website. “Many different winter articles and clothing were distributed among the refugees including but not limited to: Winter coats, jackets, boots, shoes, gloves, long johns, medications for the sick members, comforters, bed sheets and pillows.” During its campaign, ICNA efforts were first launched to serve the local community in various areas.
