Sikh Organization Serves Thousands of Meals to Los Angeles Wildfire Victims

UNITED SIKHS, a United Nations-affiliated nonprofit, is providing hot meals and supplies to those affected by the devastating Eaton Fire.

The organization has committed to serving more than 10,000 meals to community members impacted by the recent wildfires, operating from the Pasadena Job Center.

Working alongside multiple different Gurdwaras around California, volunteers are offering hot food, masala tea, and essential supplies daily from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Pasadena Job Center, located at 500 North Lake Avenue.

“The act of sharing a meal transcends cultural and religious boundaries,” said Moninder Singh, Senior Program Manager with UNITED SIKHS. “It’s a simple yet powerful way to show that we care for each other, no matter our backgrounds.”

The initiative has established a dedicated storage facility to maintain continuous outreach, bringing together volunteers from various faiths and backgrounds.

UNITED SIKHS maintains a 24/7 support helpline, called UMEED, for those seeking assistance during challenging times, accessible at 1-855-878-6333.

The organization, focused on humanitarian relief, human development, and advocacy, continues its mission of empowering disadvantaged and minority communities worldwide through this local relief effort.

Those wishing to support the effort can donate through the Los Angeles Wildfire Relief Efforts UNITED SIKHS donation page, https://dvnetwork.org/projects/los-angeles-wildfire-relief-efforts.
