August 15 will mark the first stop in Ft. Thompson, South Dakota where a large majority of the residents are Native Americans living in poverty.
Unemployment, overcrowding, and lack of plumbing all contribute to the hardships faced by Ft. Thompson families. I mention this not to exploit their situations, but to give a glimpse of the America that not many see, hear or even think about, the America that the Day of Dignity events aim to serve.
By offering high-quality services such as health check-ups, food and clothing distributions, and toys for children, Day of Dignity staff and volunteers are able to help ease the burden of families in poverty.
But the events are much more than just handing out goods. They’re about the smiles and sincerity, the hugs and the handshakes, the talks and the tears, and most of all they’re about the love that comes with knowing that no matter their situation, every person deserves to be treated with dignity.

As Salaamu Alaikum - I look forward to attending the DOD in Baltimore. It would be useful to include the dates and city names of future DOD's in a calendar format included on the DOD website. Insha Allah, that would assist with public relations and scheduling for persons in different states that might want to venture to DOD's around the country.
