Service Activities

The center participates in numerous service activities in the community. While most are fixed and on a monthly basis, the center and region come together for special annual service projects during the summer months and Swami’s birthday. Some regular service activities are, preparing and serving breakfast to our homeless brothers and sisters, serving dinner at a shelter and playing bingo with Seniors. Annually, our members take part in Medical/ dental camps, Habitat for Humanity and REACH projects. The center also hosts Food drives, Back To School drives, Blanket drives, Shoe Drives, during the year and has supported local schools in need through the school year.
