A New Jersey-based Sikh non-profit physique served free meals to 1000’s throughout the nation in a public feast, also referred to as a ‘langar’.
Greater than 700 volunteers from the outfit ‘Let’s Share a Meal’ delivered vegetarian meals to greater than 10,000 people throughout 80 areas in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and Connecticut, a media launch mentioned Friday.

He claimed the physique has served over 1 million meals throughout the US since its inception.
One other volunteer, Harleen Kaur, mentioned, “I’ve been a part of this unbelievable effort for over 15 years, and I’m so grateful to see the way it has grown. Yearly, an increasing number of folks — volunteers and donors alike — come collectively to make this potential.”
LSM now distributes greater than 20,000 meals yearly, an excellent progress from the 1,500 meals it served in its first 12 months.
“We are attempting to show our kids the core values of our faith, which embody peace, concord, and Oneness. Oneness is not only for Sikhs, however for all of humanity.
“The world is one group, and no person ought to be hungry or unequal. We’re proud that over 700 volunteers, together with many from the broader American group, have come collectively to help this trigger,” Onkar Singh mentioned.
