Mohamed Bahi is a Brooklyn-based humanitarian and community organizer whose work has reshaped Muslim-led service in New York City and beyond. As the founder of Muslims Giving Back (MGB), Bahi built one of the most active grassroots charities in the city, known for weekly hot-meal distributions, emergency relief, and direct outreach to vulnerable neighbors.
He also co-founded the Asiyah Women’s Center, New York’s first Muslim-run domestic-violence and emergency shelter for women and children, providing culturally sensitive support, safety, and long-term guidance.
Internationally, Bahi launched Mercy Bakery and Freedom Bakery, innovative free-bread bakeries operating in crisis-stricken regions such as Yemen, offering thousands of daily loaves to families facing hunger and conflict.
Much of his work is rooted in the Muslim Community Center (MCC) in Brooklyn and Staten Island, where he transformed a local mosque into a full community hub — a place of worship, outreach, and social services.
Driven by faith, compassion, and the belief that Muslims should lead through visible service, Mohamed Bahi continues to champion projects that restore dignity, uplift the marginalized, and strengthen community through action.
