Alhamdulillah! On February 21, our Ramadan Food Box Distribution was a great success. We distributed **179 boxes of essential food** to families in our community, helping them prepare for the blessed month.

We extend our sincere gratitude to ** Relief USA** for generously providing the food boxes that made this effort possible.

We also thank ** York Immigration Coalition** for providing important informational materials in multiple languages, ensuring families received valuable resources they can understand and use.

Our appreciation goes to ** Bilal** for their continued support and partnership in hosting and assisting with the distribution.

A special thank you to our dedicated youth volunteers who worked hard to organize, unload, and distribute the boxes with care and commitment.

Finally, we thank our entire community. Your cooperation, patience, and support made this effort successful and meaningful.

Together, we continue to uplift and strengthen our community.

🌟 Fun on the Run – A Day to Remember! 🌟

What an incredible experience! From the moment the kids arrived, they were non-stop — laughing, running, exploring, and jumping from one activity to the next. They played like the day would never end—only their parents’ gentle call brought the fun to a pause. 💙

We were thrilled to welcome both first-time participants and the familiar faces who’ve been with us since day one. Seeing new friendships form, confidence grow, and kids trying new games with excitement was truly heartwarming.

Fun on the Run at Front Park was more than just play — it's a reminder of the power of community, connection, and creating safe spaces for our youth to thrive. Programs like this show just how much kids gain when we come together to make room for fun, movement, and joy.

Huge thanks to everyone who joined us and made this day unforgettable. 💥

🌊 Beach Day at Beaver Island! 🏖️
Today was nothing short of amazing! From the warm breeze to the laughter of kids running through the sand, it was a fun and unique experience that brought smiles all around.

We came together to enjoy the sunshine, swim in the water, cool down from the summer heat, play games, and simply share a day filled with joy and connection. We even brought our Fun on the Run games with us to the beach and enjoyed many exciting activities right on the sand!

Whether it was splashing in the lake or teaming up for games, today reminded us just how powerful community time can be — and how being active and outdoors is essential to our well-being.
That’s exactly what Fun on the Run is all about! 🌟

And like always… it was hard to go back home and leave the Fun on the Run at the beach! 😅🌞

🎣 Fishing, Fun & Fresh Air – A Day to Remember! 🌊
📅 July 12, 2025

Our fishing adventure at Tonawanda Creek was a splash of joy! Even though we didn’t catch any fish, we definitely caught plenty of fun and unforgettable memories. 🐟✨

The kids had an amazing time learning how to cast, exploring the outdoors, and bonding with friends in nature. It was a hands-on experience full of laughter, curiosity, and discovery.

🎯 This is a sport we’ll definitely be doing more often — the smiles said it all!

A big thank you to Ladders To The Outdoors for making this experience possible and supporting outdoor fun for our youth! And special thanks to .Hansen for the amazing teaching, guidance, and encouragement throughout the day! 🙌💚

🌿 Fun on the Run: Chestnut Ridge Hike Recap! 🌿

What an energizing and unforgettable day on the trails with our amazing youth participants! From the moment we arrived at Chestnut Ridge, the excitement was high—kids were full of energy, ready to take on the challenge ahead.

This wasn’t just a walk in the park—our hike included steep climbs, rocky trails, stairs, and muddy stream crossings. Some had hiked before, others had never set foot on a trail—but they all showed up and pushed themselves.

By the end of the day, we were tired but proud—and when the kids learned they had hiked a total of 6.5 miles, their faces lit up with a real sense of accomplishment. 💪🏾✨

Our group ranged from first-time hikers to experienced trail walkers, and everyone gave it their best. This wasn’t just about hiking—it was about building confidence, teamwork, and memories in the great outdoors.

Special shoutout to Jewls Hansen for joining us on this journey and supporting the youth along the way!

This was a day of movement, discovery, and joy in nature—definitely one for the books! 🌲🔥
