Sikhcess Toronto will be preparing 500 meals for distribution to the homeless and needy on Friday, December 18 and Saturday Deember 19 2009.
Volunteers will help prepare the nutritious meals by assembling them into food packages. Packages will contain a Veggie Wrap, Samosa, Dad’s Oatmeal Cookies, Nature Valley Bar and a bottle of water. The Samosas will already be made and the snacks are already pre-packaged.
Volunteers will help cut up veggies on Friday night and prepare the packages on Saturday morning. The packages will then be delivered.
How you can help:
• We are looking for volunteers to help out on Friday night at 600 PM to help cut the veggies and prepare them for the morning.
• Saturday morning at 600 AM we will need volunteers to help prepare the wraps and packages.
• Once the packages are ready, we will need drivers (around 830 AM) to help deliver the meals to shelters in the Peel Region.
• If you can not make it to our seva, you can always donate items such as shredded cheddar cheese, flat bread tortillas, bottled water, carrots, green peppers, canned beans and granola bars. All donations will be accepted at Shiromani Sikh Sangat, Dunwin.
We need YOU to come and volunteer some time!
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.
