Without our volunteers, it would have been hard to survive this experience.вЂќ - Emily Coleman, CVAВ | Volunteer Program Supervisor What a blessing to come home from work and have a hot meal waiting. Enter the Oregon Sikh Center: they connected with us in April 2020 to offer meal support, and within a couple weeks, were feeding a delicious meal to three shelters вЂ“ over 100 people! вЂ“ every week! We are so incredibly grateful for their compassion and generosity in working so hard to provide meals that our residents will love! As one of our residents put it, вЂњA great big вЂGod bless you and thank youвЂ™ to all volunteer meal providers who give of their time вЂ“ energy вЂ“ money to help the residents of Transition Projects. This is a tremendous need, and our need only grew during the COVID-19 pandemic when many of our volunteers stopped their service out of concern for their health. Transition Projects operates nine shelters, each of which is in need of a volunteer-provided dinner every night of the year. Below is a testimonial to our Covid homeless shelter langarВ service: Meals to homeless shelters are often provided on a Saturday.В Meals are prepared and delivered to the shelters by our volunteers and all transportation costs are borne by вЂSikh Center of Oregon Langar SevaвЂ™ as well.

вЂLangarвЂ™ is a Punjabi word, which means free community kitchen. вЂњSikh Center of Oregon Langar SevaвЂќ is a purely secular program run by Sikh Center of Oregon. In addition to the ideals of equality, the tradition of Langar expresses the ethics of sharing, community, inclusiveness, and oneness of all humankind. It is designed to uphold the principle of equality between all people of the world regardless of religion, caste, color, creed, age, gender, or social status to eliminate the extreme poverty in the world, and to bring about the birth of 'caring communities'. вЂ‹The Langar or free community kitchen is a hallmark of the Sikh faith.
