InLeadership Edition 2 Highlights:
Food Security Project - Impactful Distribution:
In the recent Jumada Awwal Food Drive, ILIA's youth spearheaded the distribution of over 1400 pounds of essential items to 48 families in need. Urgent requests from three families without food for three days were met with dedication, as ILIA's volunteers delivered directly to their homes.

Expanding Safe Spaces:
ILIA, a pioneer in creating safe spaces for youth, embarked on a bold project this quarter. Transforming over 2500 sq ft at our Baltimore location, this initiative expands safe spaces, including a larger prayer area, gaming room, youth lounge, kitchen, and STEM room. Your generous donations are pivotal to achieving this vision.
