Seventy care packages for homeless people in honour of Amma's 70th birthday

In honour of Amma's 70th birthday, a few devotees from Amma Toronto Satsang organized an initiative to distribute 70 care packages to clients of a nearby homeless shelter. In just two weeks time, donations were collected from Toronto Satsang members, and warm winter socks, gloves, toques, and scarves were purchased in bulk from a wholesale supplier. On October 7, volunteers packed these items into reusable cinch bags, together with a t-shirt, and a fig bar (both donated by devotees). A devotee additionally donated 132 denim long-sleeve shirts in various sizes that will be given to the shelter for distribution to clients.
