AYUDH New England Prepares and Delivers 72 Blessing Bags to Rosie’s Place

What began as a goal to fund 27 Blessing Bags grew into 72 — a beautiful way to honor Amma’s 72nd birthday. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our satsang community, AYUDH New England collected, assembled, and delivered these bags, each filled with essential full-size items for women in need at Rosie’s Place.

The packing day was a joyful community effort. Volunteers came together to listen to bhajans, pack the bags, share homemade food and mango lassi, and end the afternoon with a peaceful nature walk. The spirit of selfless service filled every step of the process.

This past week, all 72 Blessing Bags were delivered to Rosie’s Place as part of AYUDH New England’s “National Give Something Away Day” Seva. Each bag, assembled with care, compassion, and generosity, has now reached a woman in need, carrying Amma’s message of love and the dignity of thoughtful giving.

The staff at Rosie’s Place expressed deep gratitude for the effort and attention put into each bag, and were moved by the sincerity with which the seva was carried out. During the visit, the AYUDH team also explored future volunteer opportunities at Rosie’s Place, with the hope of deepening this seva connection.

AYUDH New England extends heartfelt thanks to everyone who donated, prepared food, helped pack, and supported this project. This offering was made possible by the time, effort, and commitment of our community, and reflects the impact we can create when we come together in service.
