Spring into Service with AYUDH LA

Spring into Service with AYUDH LA

This spring, the youth of AYUDH LA came together to celebrate Mother’s Day through heartfelt service and community engagement. Partnering with Mother’s Kitchen, they served over 250 warm meals at the Downtown Women’s Center (DWC) which uplifts women and gender-diverse individuals experiencing homelessness. The kitchen was filled with laughter and engaging conversations as volunteers prepared and served food — highlighted by a special apple crumble dessert with ice cream. Inspired by Amma’s message of selfless service, AYUDH LA aimed to honor and celebrate the strength of motherly love on Mother’s Day.
    

They also organized a spring clothing drive during the Mother’s Day Retreat with Sw. Dayamritananda Puri, collecting ten large bags of gently used clothing for DWC and a local day laborer community. To add a spark of fun, AYUDH hosted a Jeopardy game to test everyone’s knowledge of Indian festivals, bhajans, Amma facts, and LA Satsang history.

They also organized a Holi celebration at the April satsang with Swamiji, fostering energy and togetherness. Through these events, AYUDH hopes to uplift community spirit by bringing joy, love, and laughter to all.
