Project Description: Sikhcess serves thousands of freshly prepared, delicious, and healthy food packages to the needy in cities across the world. Each city is responsible for creating and serving a vegetarian menu that fits their community’s unique needs.
This effort starts with volunteers arriving early in the morning to cook individualized meals. Throughout the day, volunteers help package the tasty and nutritious meals by assembling them into food packages. Packages contain healthy, freshly prepared vegetarian entrees, bottles of water or boxes of fruit juice, granola bars, and other desserts. Once ready, these packages are distributed to the needy on streets and in shelters.
Every month, the homeless and needy take delivery of these food packages. In exchange, Sikhcess™ volunteers receive countless hugs, smiles, and a heart-felt “thank you”, many times over.
Project Description: The Sikhcess ‘Packages of Love’ campaign joins volunteers together to help fulfill basic needs for the less fortunate. Volunteers unite to collect and assemble basic needs hygiene materials – things like towels, toothbrushes, toothpaste, combs, and bar soap – into packages for distribution to the homeless and needy in local communities and across the globe. While each individual package includes basic essentials necessary to maintain hygiene, the key is to putting ‘love’ into the packages.
