November: Sikhcess Celebrates the Month by Giving Thanks
Thanksgiving is a day to be grateful for what we have and share the blessings with those around us in the family as well as community.
This sounds true this season as we face a bumpy ride in an uncertain economy and fly through a recession without a tailwind. So, we here at Sikhcess decided to use our services of Guru Ka Langar, or ‘The Free Community Kitchen’, to serve the needy with food drives around the country this November.
Sikhcess launched successful food drives in cities like Fresno, Chicago, Sacramento, Detroit, Toronto and Cleveland. Over 25,000 food packages were given away freely to those in need of a warm and healthy meal this Thanksgiving holiday season.
Photos of these food drives below show the spirit of ‘thanks’ that went into these food drives as those involved in the food drives worked tirelessly to prepare and hand out the food packages. Sikhcess volunteers gave self-less service to these food drives and worked with the under served populations this Thanksgiving to ensure that no one who came to these food drives went back home without a meal.
Boys, girls, artists, thinkers, techies, DJs, VJs, soccer moms, students, seniors (a.k.a experienced wise men/women), freelancers, professionals, engineers, doctors, etc. came out to help make each of these food drive events a success. And success it was as we at Sikhcess are proud and grateful to say that all of our 25,000 packages were given away on the same day in cities across Canada and America.
We at Sikhcess are really grateful to get this chance to organize these events and go out in the community and reach out to those who for one reason or the other might not have had a warm Thanksgiving. Volunteers who prepared the meals and those who ate those meals, they both were thankful for what this Thanksgiving brings this season. Next year Sikhcess looks forward to ramp up its output to expand the offering to more locations in our current cities and grow into more cities to give out many more food packages.
Happy Thanksgiving!!!
