Community Service Program

Thursday, July 13 @ 12:30 pm

Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA’s 73rd Jalsa Salana (Annual Convention) is America’s oldest and longest running Muslim conference and will be returning to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, for the thirteenth year this weekend.

To give back to the community that welcomes us with open arms, this year, the convention introduces “Jalsa Cares” – a program to give back to the city of Harrisburg with a series of service projects the day before the weekend-long convention begins.

On Thursday, July 13th, members of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA are partnering with the city of Harrisburg, alongside Downtown Daily Bread and the Capital Area Coalition on Homelessness, to feed the hungry, donate blood to save lives, and conduct a neighborhood clean-up in Harrisburg.
