Mother's Kitchen Activities in the Bay Area

Mother's Kitchen Project will be serving in Oakland on the LAST SATURDAY and LAST MONDAY of the month:

Monday, January 30 - Hot Lunch - begin at 10:00 am - 12:30 pm, serving 12:30 - 2:00 pm. Call Kasturi if you have any questions at 510-524-6686.

Mother's Kitchen also meets in San Francisco every Friday from 12 noon - 5:30 pm. We also participate in the SF Shower Project every Sunday morning. Contact: Peter Markey at 707-776-4800 or Nistula Griffin at 415-648-4907.

Mother's Kitchen Project has expanded to the South Bay, where a group of devotees prepare and serve delicious vegetarian meals for the San Jose Family Shelter and for InnVision. The devotees also make sandwiches every week, distributed to the homeless by St. Joseph's Cathedral in downtown San Jose. Contact Visalakshi at 408-615-1672 or email her at vdvisa@yahoo.com for more information.

Circle of Love Letters

When love awakens, the ego disappears. Then, human beings realize their oneness with each other - Amma

Circle of Love Letters needs some letter writers. This seva involves writing letters of love and support to people in our communities who are sick, grieving or isolated. You sign up for 2 months and write a letter each week to between 2 and 4 people. Please contact Aikya: aikya@yahoo.com if you would like to help.

Ride Bart to Saturday Programs

Wouldn’t it be nice to tell friends and those just meeting Amma that our Saturday night satsangs are BART accessible? With Castro Valley BART just ten minutes from M.A. Center this is a do-able project. Many of us drive by the BART station every Saturday night on the way to satsang. It would take only a bit of organization to lend a helping hand and assist those from SF and the South Bay who want to use BART to attend Saturday satsang. Both BART riders and volunteer drivers can call Thomas at (510) 326-5757 for details.
