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 450 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.

Bhagavati LaCombe, our Service Programs
Coordinator.

The
Word from the Streets -
July 11, 2007
Namaste,
Today
was one of those great days out on the streets with
our friends. We had the pleasure of having one of
our Swamis from Kashi with us. Swami Dhumavati has
been out with us before and is always a big hit with
the guys and gals!
They are so excited that she is such a close link
to this “Ma that loves them” ( a quote
that is hand written on every lunch bag).
We were reunited with our friend David. We haven’t
seen David for some time now and we were thrilled
to see his smiling face.
We learned today, that our Mark Thomas is on his way
to Bible College. He told us that he won’t see
us for a while, but that he will have us all in his
heart. It will be odd not to have our Mark waiting
for us at Woodruff Park. He is there every week to
greet us, his family!
This street meal program is so beautiful…Something
like a smile or hug has such a profound affect on
everyone, us included!
In
Deep Gratitude,
The Kashi Atlanta Street Meal Team
