SERVING OUR

COMMUNITY

Day of Dignity is Islamic Relief USA’s flagship effort, held in Lexington and around the U.S. annually, to reach out to the community along with organizers and partners to promote services for those most in need.

-VISION-

The Day of Dignity mission is to promote volunteerism, build relationships, and encourage local organizations to have a transformative impact on their community. It is also an effort to provide basic living essentials and medical services, and to connect beneficiaries to ongoing assistance.

It is incumbent upon Muslims to make a contribution by treating neighbors in need with respect, kindness, and love. These events are an opportunity for Muslim communities to engage with those in need of neighborly assistance. In an effort to dignify us all, Day of Dignity is a platform to start conversations and reach out to help one another.

-GOALS-

1) To promote community service and provide relief to marginalized populations

2) To connect individuals in need with local services and service organizations

3) To build relationships between different communities with the shared mission of service

4) To provide basic living essentials such as food, clothing, medical services and more to persons lacking these essentials

5) To empower local partners to have a visible impact in their communities

6) To educate the general public about IRUSA’s service work and get people involved
