MILWAUKEE (WISN) — Volunteers helped pack meals for worldwide hunger relief.
Members of the Ismaili community put together 20,000 meals in Milwaukee on Saturday. The food will then be distributed to areas in need across the globe. It’s part of the group’s 60 for 60 Initiative — giving 60 hours of service outside the Ismaili community.
“We’re a small community in Milwaukee but globally we hope to have a large impact because service to others and the outside community is one of our values,” said Aliya Manjee, outreach coordinator for the Ismaili community.
They raised $4,000 for the food packs — double their initial goal.

Bravo to all the Ismaili volunteers. Never seen so many countries, cities with so many volunteers and their ‘Work no Words’ symbol to help in crisis around the world. Congratulations and keep it up. Our Imam is always happy to see and bless all volunteers, without a doubt Ismaili community around the world is the largest.
