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.

The Word from the Streets - September 12 , 2007


Namaste,

Today we headed out with 350 bagged lunches that were made by students at the Mt. Vernon elementary school. Each year they donate their time and efforts to help with our program. In years past, they even made homemade cards for our friends on the streets.

The Wednesday delivery team was large today and everyone had such a great time serving.

Our favorite security guard, Mr. Hightower, helped us at the shelter at Peachtree and Pine. When he helps, all goes very well. Everyone respects and likes this wonderful man. He told us today, with a twinkle in his eye… "I don't know what it is about you guys..the guys get so excited when you come every week. I don't see this except for the Ma Loves you days!"

At every location, everyone was very mellow and easy going. There is a whisper of Fall in the air that many are looking forward to.

Our Mark Thomas is in Tampa at Bible college and our friend Moses is heading down this coming Monday. We will miss him, yet we are very excited that they are in a good place! We told them both that we were expecting letters!

We are forever grateful to serve,

The Kashi Atlanta Ma Jaya's Street Meal Team
