"The sweat of one doing selfless service is like prasad for Amma."
— Amma
Remembering how Amma directed a large-scale packing and distribution of food for people in need during COVID-19, AYUDH New England wanted to work toward Sustainable Development Goal #2 — Zero Hunger. During the packing seva in Amritapuri, Amma once remarked that the sound of the grains going through the funnels was like music to Her; inspired by Her example, AYUDH New England helped organize AYUDHians and satsang members to join a meal-packing effort with Feed My Starving Children at the Dayspring Christian Academy in South Attleboro on Saturday, May 4, 2024.
Learning that one in nine people in the world go hungry, the volunteers made packets of rice, soy, dried vegetables and vitamins to be distributed to children in need around the world. Together, they packed 22,248 meals in 103 boxes — enough, in total, to feed 61 children a daily meal for an entire year.
