Street Meals
helps alleviate hunger for the homeless population in Atlanta. Every Tuesday from 6:30 - 8:30 p.m., volunteers prepare meals at Kashi Atlanta. The next day at lunchtime, we distribute 350 meals or more in downtown Atlanta. Street Meals is supported by a dedicated corps of volunteers who are committed to seva - selfless service – as an extension of their yoga practice. Teaching people about the joy of community service is a part of our commitment.

We have just begun. We are working with different shelters and organizations with similar goals to expand the assistance available on our streets. We believe that there are no throw-away people.

We also need financial contributions. We can feed someone a good meal for $1.00, so no donation is too small or too large.

We need volunteers to help make and distribute meals, to organize pick-up and delivery of food donations, to pick up donations, and to shop for food that hasn’t been donated. You can also sign up to donate any of the items above, make cookies or muffins, get your employers to donate, or find us a source for bread, chips, drinks, and other food. Get involved and you really can make a difference. Learn to live from the heart and give from the heart.

For more information about Street Meals, contact Sadhu Bhagavati LaCombe, our Service Programs Coordinator.


Kashi Atlanta Holiday Caroling - December 15, 2006

This year's Christmas caroling event was as beautiful as ever. Fifteen yogis gathered and went to two of our annual caroling spots. We started off at the women’s shelter My Sisters House, where we were welcomed by so many caretakers and sweet children. They didn’t even pause before running up to hug on us. We all rocked the house with all of the traditional songs and a big finish of our famous “Feliz Navidad.”

Our other stop was Mary’s House, a small AIDS hospice for women in the Virginia Highlands area. This has always been a very special place to visit. The women are so appreciative. Lots of love and laughter was enjoyed by everyone.
