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.
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!

Providing food, hot meals, and grocery vouchers to individuals and families struggling with poverty and hunger

Delivering health and wellness workshops, webinars, and events to educate and empower women from all backgrounds

Assisting individuals who are new to the USA with orientation and support in settling and integrating into the new environment
This is more than a charity
It's an effort to bridge the gap between the physical and spiritual realms.

MWIRD operates the Community Food Pantry @Highbridge, providing food security for community members that may be finding it difficult to feed themselves and their families.
MWIRD partners with faith and community based organizations to facilitate outreach to help those in need of public benefits.


Many immigrant women go without proper health care, check ups and screenings. MWIRD aims
to change this by partnering with providers that can assist with medical, housing, nutritional and other concerns faced by immigrants.
MWIRD continuously provides opportunities to increase HIV/AIDS awareness within the community. We collaborate with other community based organizations to offer free HIV testing during select community events.


The youth are a major part of the community MWIRD services and are included in community-wide events.
