COVID-19 – We are in this together. MMA is here to help

Dear All,

COVID-19 has impacted all our lives; in ways, most of us would never have imagined or experienced before. In these trying and challenging times, we would like to assure you that MMA is with you. If you need any urgent support or guidance, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.

MMA is partnering with Indian Association of Minnesota (IAM) in their Emergency Relief Fund for helping the community members who are impacted due to COVID-19. By contributing to this fund, community members can come together for a joint show of #ForceForGood to combat suffering and help people in our area at this time of great need. Please be part of this effort by the Asian Indian community in Minnesota.

We are also joining hands with the Federation of Malayalee Associations of Americas (FOMAA) to form a regional task force to support our Malayalee community during this time of need. We will share more information on this shortly.

Please reach out to us if you would like to lend a hand in the fight against COVID, many organizations are looking for volunteers to make masks, cook meals for senior citizens, etc. We’ll help you connect with these organizations.

We request you to share your feedback and inputs to: info@mnmalayalee.org
