For Amma's 73rd birthday, observed this year as Vishwa Seva Dinam — A Day of Selfless Service — Amma Toronto is organizing four service initiatives over the weekend of September 25–27. One of them is a non-perishable food drive.
Food bank use in Toronto has risen 273% since before the pandemic, and in 2023 about one in five households in Peel and York Region experienced food insecurity. On Saturday, September 26, you can help individuals and families facing hunger by dropping off some of the most-requested non-perishable foods — such as canned vegetables, oatmeal and nut butters — in the collection boxes at the back of the hall in the Amma Canada Centre, 9158 Trafalgar Road, Georgetown. Donations are accepted until Sunday, October 4.
For more information, contact Mahita or Nandini Melody, or email ammatoronto@ammagroups.org. Thank you for helping Amma's birthday wish come true!
