Bring nonperishable food for Meals on Wheels®
“Know for certain that he who feeds the hungry serves Me with food. Regard this as an axiom truth”. (Shri Sai Satcharita).
Annadan, or food giving, is a fundamental tenant of Sanatan Dharma. Keeping this tradition alive, we will collect unopened cans and packages of nonperishable food to donate to the food bank. Check our website
