The Aga Khan Council for the Southeastern United States cordially invites you to serve alongside the Ismaili Muslim community as we assemble over 60,000 meals to help fight hunger in Atlanta.

60 for 60: I-CERV Day of Service is a service initiative in partnership with Feeding Children Everywhere and the Atlanta Community Food Bank. The goal is to pack and donate more than 60,000 healthy meals for families in need in Georgia.
Currently 842 million people around the world face hunger every day. In metro Atlanta, approximately one out of seven people turn to food pantries and meal service programs to feed themselves and their families. With this initiative, you will help feed more than 60,000 people including children and seniors.
Why 60 for 60? This year the Ismaili Muslims all around the world are celebrating His Highness the Aga Khan's Diamond Jubilee; marking 60 years of spiritual leadership of the Ismaili community and 60 years of improving the quality of life of all people through the work of the Aga Khan Development Network.
60 for 60: I-CERV Day of Service celebrates and honors this commitment to service and improving the human condition.
Ismaili Community Engaged in Responsible Volunteering (I-CERV) Day of Service is a platform for the Ismaili community to participate in service and knowledge sharing initiatives which bring communities together and help improve the quality of life of all people.
