The Opportunity

The keys are ours. The next chapter needs you.

There is no masjid within a 20-minute radius of this corridor and no community center within a 40-minute radius. The sellers of 1963 Carlson Blvd chose MAS East Bay over higher-profile bidders because they believe in what this building can become: a beacon of light serving families, youth, and neighbors of every background.

The property purchase is complete. The next phase of our overall project has a $600,000 budget for renovations and staffing — preparing the space and investing in the people who will serve our community.

Secured so far

$1,792,569.69
