Former Libertarian Party Vice President candidate and activist Will Coley has started a campaign to open New Hampshire’s first Mosque and Interfaith Community Center that provides daily prayer, an on site caretaker and a Muslim soup kitchen.

The building that will house the Mosque needs many repairs and renovations in order to be suitable, so Coley’s goal is to raise $15,000 in 6 weeks. Within the campaigns first 24 hours, nearly 10% of that goal had been met.

“Never before have we hit the ground running like this. Never before have we had over $1000 donated in the first day, but we can’t lose the momentum,” stated Will Coley in response to the success of his campaign’s first day.

Donations to help fund Will Coley’s project can be sent here.
