The food bags were donated by contribution of donations from Suresh and Nalini Bhatti, Dr Manorama S and Dr Madhu S Gupta, Prem Guragain, Balinder Tahim, Shaila Patankar, Anju Garg and Abish Ghimire.

As the weather turns colder, we have the tendency to wrap ourselves in warm clothes in our own homes, and enjoy the holiday season. But this is also the season when our thoughts should turn to those who are less fortunate than us. At this time of the year the poor and the homeless are most in need because the holiday cheer around them can make them more depressed, and the chilly weather becomes more biting.

The homeless families were very appreciative of the help they received. The happiness and glow on the faces of the homeless was a delight to observe. Rani Kuusto and Aparna Hande volunteer their time in helping in all the activities of the function. All the volunteers felt deeply satisfied with their act of kindness, rewarded by the reaction they received, and resolved to continue to do such social services year after year in the future.Helping Less Fortunate in Holiday Season.
