Review for Umma-Urban Muslim Minority Alliance, Waukegan, IL, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

The issues and struggles that the UMMA center aims to break down have not always been so prevalent to me. I was honestly surprised that such an organization was in place and doing the work they do (instructing GED classes, providing nutrition and giving out clothing to name just a few) was in place and helping the community in Lake County. After volunteering at the center a handful of times, I can honestly and wholeheartedly say that the individuals who work at the center do what they do with a smile on their face and with the hope that the individuals who walk through their doors will have the opportunity to shut out the struggles that have been tormenting their lives for good. I really do applaud those involved with the UMMA center and the UMMA mission for bringing to light issues that the general population choose not to embrace and react towards. Bringing such a positive and life-altering light into so many heartbroken people who are striving for a better life must be acknowledged and dealt with and this is exactly what the UMMA center does on a daily basis. Keep it up!
