While America joyously celebrated the holidays and enjoyed time with their loved ones, Khuddam-ul-Ahmadiyya North Virginia kept in mind the less fortunate who had no money to buy any gifts, no home to go to, and no families to share their joy with. There were a total of four Khuddam and one Nasir from NVA Majlis who woke up early on Saturday Dec 29th, and headed to the Reston Homeless Shelter Facility to serve the people that needed this service the most around this time of the year. We all gathered at the homeless shelter at 6:30 am in the morning. We had milk, juice, bread, bagels, muffins, and cereals with us in addition to the hot meal comprising of scrambled eggs, grits, and turkey bacon which was prepared there at the facility. Due to an excellent teamwork and a high spirit to serve the needy, we were able to prepare and setup the breakfast very quickly. The shutter got opened at 7:30 am and the people began walking up to the serving area where Khuddam were standing with bright smiles on their faces and greetings from their mouths while serving breakfast to them. By the grace of Allah, about 130 homeless individuals were fed breakfast by Khuddam-ul-Ahmadiyya. The residents of this shelter facility were extremely thankful but in reality it was us who were thankful to the Almighty Allah who provided us this opportunity to serve our fellow citizens, and make some contributions toward their holiday celebrations
