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. From Saturday, September 26 - Sunday, October 4, 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. Please remember to bring your non-perishable food donations to Swamiji's program on 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!
