Empowering Change Through Generosity:

Welcome to the Muslim Women's Institute for Research and Development (MWIRD)

The Muslim Women's Institute for Research and Development (MWIRD) is a faith-based, community service organization committed to the hunger relief, health education, and transitional needs of new immigrants - especially women. Our vision is to help empower women and promote gender equality in communities all around us.

Community Food Pantry @ Highbridge

MWIRD operates the Community Food Pantry @ Highbridge in the Highbridge section of the Bronx, in partnership with the Highbridge Community Church, that donates space for the MWIRD hunger relief projects.


We are always trying to keep our food banks full!

Make a gift to keep food on the shelves that go straight to feeding the needy!
