Sewa Diwali - Food Distribution to under privileged Community( Nov, 2024)
GMADP along with HSS has distributed 2,500 LBS of food (300 bags) to inner city community members of Philadelphia (PA). We are following our Guru's Anandan teachings, we aim to inspire change. Alongside prayers to Maharaj, let's uphold HIS values of helping others.
Sparkling eyes, a big smile on lightening face and “Thank you” – what else you want in return when you present a smallest of the bag with few day-to-day needs items. Team GMADP (LA) was way beyond happiness when teen girls said a “BIG Thank you” to them while delivering the items shared by all you devotees. It was all your effort and donations which brought smile on faces & sparkles on these needy girl’s eyes.
You all devotees are true reflection of famous sharing “Be the reason someone else smiles today”.
3 collection centers, 6 weeks of efforts and 50+ devotees to share the required items.
