Street Meals helps alleviate hunger for the
homeless population in Atlanta. Every Tuesday from 6:30 -
8:30 p.m., volunteers prepare meals at Kashi Atlanta. The
next day at lunchtime, we distribute 450 meals or more in
downtown Atlanta. Street Meals is supported by a dedicated
corps of volunteers who are committed to seva - selfless service
– as an extension of their yoga practice. Teaching people
about the joy of community service is a part of our commitment.
We have just begun. We are working with different shelters
and organizations with similar goals to expand the assistance
available on our streets. We believe that there are no throw-away
people.
We also need financial contributions. We can feed someone
a good meal for $1.00, so no donation is too small or too
large.
We need volunteers to help make and distribute meals, to organize
pick-up and delivery of food donations, to pick up donations,
and to shop for food that hasn’t been donated. You can
also sign up to donate any of the items above, make cookies
or muffins, get your employers to donate, or find us a source
for bread, chips, drinks, and other food. Get involved and
you really can make a difference. Learn to live from the heart
and give from the heart.

Bhagavati LaCombe, our Service Programs
Coordinator.

The
Word from the Streets

 October 3, 2012:
Today at Street Meals at Renaissance Park we met up with William one
of our longtime friends from the streets. He is someone who takes care
of his friends despite the challenges of homelessness and always sees
the cup half full. It's very inspiring.
In gratitude for the ability to give,

Today at Street Meals the homeless shelter was unseasonably full so we
almost didn't have enough lunches for everyone. Usually the shelter
isn't this full until the weather gets very cold. The men were very
grateful for the meal and the hugs.

Today at Street Meals, Dharmaki, Justice and Sakini made a hug sandwich and everyone got fed a PBandJ, Capri Sun juice, snack and a carton of chocolate milk. Good times!

Today at Street Meals the Smart People - folks from a local adult
daycare who volunteer with us - brought 5 cases of white and chocolate
milk for the residents of the homeless shelter. They loved having milk
to go with their PB&J sandwiches.
In gratitude for the ability to give,
