About 75 Sai volunteers of the Greater Boston subregion of the Northeast SSSIO-USA participated in a Thanksgiving service, distributing healthy groceries and nutritious fresh produce for more than 300 food insecure individuals in the Lowell community. Sai volunteers spread news of the event, bulk purchased grocery items and fresh produce, assembled and distributed the food bags. The event left joy and gratitude in both the recipients and volunteers and highlighted the importance of addressing the issue of food insecurity.

Sai Spiritual Education students of the Sri Sathya Sai Center of Seattle Eastside enthusiastically participated in a service project Pantry Packs, assembling more than 600 food packets for food insecure school children to bring home for the weekend.
