 "Serving the poor is the true service to the God". During 2008 Diwali 4 shakhas in Midwest Sambhag - Abhimanyu shakha at Shaumburg, Bloomington shakha, Eagen shakha and Shree Ram shakha, Indianapolis took up food drive to bring into reality this age old adage from our Hindu scriptures. Although all the shakhas took up this initiative independently, the common thread that seemed to be running through them was the urge to something for the society in which they live. That was also thought of as a reasonable way to assimilate in the local community. History of food drives in Midwest dates back to 2006 Diwali when Bloomington shakha 1st demonstrated it successfully. This year 3 more shakhas joined in to execute this initiative locally. Needless to say that each of these food drives were planned meticulously and executed diligently. Each one of them had some local flavor too. Like in Bloomington the tradition has been to conduct the food drive in collaboration with the local Indian Organization. |
