Inspired by Amma's teachings, Mother’s Kitchen groups in North America prepare, cook and serve 150,000 meals for the homeless and hungry each year. At MA Center Chicago, on the first Sunday of every month, we prepare food in the MACC kitchen starting at 8AM and then serve it at a local shelter. If you would like to participate in this seva, please contact Meetali at Deshpande.meetali@gmail.com or Sangeeta at sripadajoshi@yahoo.com.
