Submitted by National Khidmat-e-Khalq Secretary Dr. Kishwar Tahir

By the grace of Allah, Lajna Imaillah USA has been actively providing social services to the communities around us by volunteering at adopted shelters. Thus far, 57 shelters have been adopted by various chapters, and many chapters have been providing weekly services at these shelters either by serving food or working in their soup kitchen, or by donating non-perishable and canned foods.
