We are
Sensible
All donations, proceeds, and funds will go directly to families and individuals to alleviate suffering and minimize the economic costs of conflict, disasters, and displacement. Just as Khadijah bint Khuwaylid spent her riches on the destitute, KBK Relief will strive to honor her distinct character.

Our Board
KBK Relief Foundation was officially founded in 2018, but our trusted board members have been a part of the Michigan community for the past 20 years, offering humanitarian services to those in need.
Each member has been involved in their respective community, but we decided to make an organization that would bring all of our communities together and work towards providing aid in a more official capacity.
