September 4, 7:00 AM - Islamic Relief's Day of Dignity

Contact: Hassan Aminl, imamhassanamin@verizon.net, 410-448-3371. Islamic Relief USA, a nonprofit relief and development organization, began Day of Dignity eight years ago as a single event during the holy month of Ramadan. The idea was that since Ramadan is a season characterized by love, compassion and charity, American Muslims could use the day as an opportunity to act on their faith by helping those in ...need. Today, Day of Dignity has evolved into an annual grassroots campaign that brings thousands of volunteers from all backgrounds together to distribute food, clothing, blankets, medical care, and other social services to homeless and underserved people. This year, the campaignâ??s goal is to serve about 20,000 people with the help of 2000 volunteers in more than 22 cities across the country.
