UMMA, born over two decades ago to help people earn their GEDs, has blossomed into a vital community lifeline in Waukegan—offering job training, affordable housing, and its innovative Harvest Market, where shoppers pick their own groceries to reduce waste and empower choice. As community needs evolved, so did UMMA: from feeding job seekers to supporting refugees and building homes faster than planned, they’ve become a responsive force. Now, they’re transforming a former Catholic school into a full-service adult community center—with AI classes, trades training, wellness, and fitness—all under one roof, turning a whole block into a beacon of self-sufficiency and opportunity.
