Working together to help those in need to be self-reliant
Portland, OR is one of 29 cities in the US, sponsored by Islamic Relief USA (IRUSA), engaged with the annual Day of Dignity Event, by working with ISOS. The event occurred on Sunday, September 17th, from noon to 4pm at North Park Block B (Elephant in the Park), located between NW Burnside; NW Couch and NW Park Ave, NW 8th Ave. ISOS co-partnered with 25 agencies/businesses that share the same common interest with assisting our most vulnerable neighbors, the homeless. About 514 homeless were served and a report was generated about the profiles of the homeless.
We had about 100 volunteers that contributed to the success of Day of Dignity 2023 Event. They were fantastic! Great opportunity for youth awareness of the homeless community.
A special thanks to Oregon Islamic Chaplains Organization (OICO) for providing the site setup, clean-up, managing supplies, barbequing, and providing the barbers.
We thank our co-partners and IRUSA for providing a successful Day of Dignity 2023 Event!
