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 -
September 5 , 2007
 Namaste from the streets,
Today by the shelter, we saw our Dionne, looking so pretty in her smashing new dress. We also ran into Bill, who gave us the good news that he just got a place. “It may not have any furniture in it yet,” he said, “but it's mine.” He looked so happy, and that made us happy.
Out in the parks we ran into our beloved Cookie and (not related) Cupcake. Cookie was sporting a brand new chic black umbrella to protect her gorgeousness from the sun. She looked beautiful as always, and always with a grateful word for us. We were also so excited to see Cupcake. We haven't seen him for a long time. Turns out, he's been getting treatment at the clinic at the same time we give out the lunches. He and Carl made sure to get done early today so they could come and see us. It means so much to us to see them and know they are doing ok. This is our family that we love so much and want to share this love with them, whether it's in the form of a sandwich, a smile, a hug, or a sincere look in the eye. We feed everyone as taught by our Neem Karoli Baba. And, as our Ma Jaya Sati Bhagavati has said, “There are no throw away people.”
Putting it into action with love,
The Kashi Atlanta Street Meals Team
