The center initially began its work with the support of a small number of benevolent brothers, focusing on providing food supplies to qualified families. Over nearly a decade, thanks to the dedication of these individuals and despite many challenges and limitations, Reza Social Support Center has expanded its scope to meet the diverse needs of vulnerable and needy individuals. Today, its services also cover healthcare, education, job placement, guardianship, counseling, and cultural activities for not only victims of hardship but also vulnerable groups such as children, adolescents, youth, single women, and the elderly.
Beneficiaries include the vulnerable—children, youth, single women, elderly, and the distressed—as well as those in hardship, such as the sick and disabled, who are not covered by any governmental or private organizations. Due to limited resources, Reza Social Support Center evaluates applicants' situations and provides support based on need and established priorities. All services are provided by volunteers. The support is reviewed and adjusted or discontinued when the need has been resolved.
