When disaster strikes, how do you offer comfort from afar? Following the devastating Los Angeles wildfires in January 2025, the Ladies' Group of the Sri Sathya Sai Center of Detroit Metro, MI, found a heartfelt way to help by creating beautifully hand-painted bags filled with essential hygiene items which brought a much-needed sense of dignity and hope to women survivors. Their simple act of compassion showed how service can transcend distance and deliver a touching message of love and solidarity.

Sai volunteers from the Seattle area led by the Sri Sathya Sai Center of Lake Washington, WA, launched a very unique Envirocare project to rescue 3,000 fragile maple seedlings from the forest floor. These young seedlings, vulnerable to natural threats, were carefully dug up, their delicate roots intact, and transplanted into trays, then moved to a volunteer's home for nurturing. Once grown, they will be planted along nature trails, to enhance the native tree population.

On April 26, 2025, members of the Sri Sathya Sai Centers of Southeast Denver and Boulder, CO, collaborated with Heather Gardens Community residents to celebrate Earth Day and welcome spring by planting beautiful flowers. They organized a Walk for Values, joyously carrying signs with values like Peace and Love, which evoked enthusiastic reactions from passersby. The event fostered community spirit and spread Sri Sathya Sai Baba's message of love and service.

Members of the Sri Sathya Sai Center of Beaverton, OR, partnered with Friends of Trees on February 22, 2025, to plant 30 trees to counter deforestation and combat climate change. The tree planting activity also aligned with the SSSIO's (Sri Sathya Sai International Organization) global One Million Sai Trees initiative. Sai Center members expressed their joy in feeling a deeper connection with Nature and reflected on environmental stewardship as a path to realizing Divinity within Creation.

In the spirit of interfaith harmony, the Sri Sathya Sai Center of Dallas, TX, hosted a Ramadan Iftar dinner on March 15, 2025, at the Community Unitarian Universalist Church in Plano, TX. About 100 people attended, including 40 guests from the Dialogue Institute of Dallas, The Mayor and the Police Lieutenant of Plano also graced the occasion. The program included an open house featuring the Dallas Sai Center service activities, presentations on the teachings of Sri Sathya Sai Baba and the significance of Ramadan, and a musical offering by the young adults. The event ended with the Iftar dinner lovingly served by Sai volunteers.

For more than a decade, the Sri Sathya Sai Center of Pittsburgh, PA, has volunteered monthly at Global Links, a nonprofit founded in 1989 that distributes surplus medical supplies to under-resourced communities. Sai volunteers sort and pack medical supplies for overseas shipment and assemble personal care kits for local needs. They find contributing to Global Links' mission of improving health globally and locally, immensely rewarding. Global Links staff are grateful for the Sai Center's constant dedication and valuable partnership.
