Started in the year 2012, Lets Share A Meal is a non-profit organization based in the United States. Our motto is to spread love in the form of food to the one who needs it the most. Our organization is run by a group of volunteers of all demography who put equal efforts in bringing a smile on people’s faces...
The fire which keeps us ignited to serve people is inspired by a mission known as the Guru Nanak’s Sakhi Sacha Sauda, which is the foundation of the service called Langar (Community Kitchen).
We have made it possible with the help of our volunteers who work relentlessly to spread love in the form of food. Serving people is a noble task and serving Langar from Gurudwara is just a part of many other good deeds.
The purpose of the Langar is to spread its channels to reach every person in need. The dream to reach million people began with just a handful of volunteers from Nanak Naam Jahaj Gurudwara (Sikh Temple), Jersey City. We started from serving 1500 individuals, and now our count has surpassed 20,000 plus meals every year across more than a hundred shelters.
After receiving the abundance of community support and constant encouragement in the United States, Let’s Share A Meal has pushed its boundaries to other countries like the United Kingdom, India, and Australia.
Our belief lies in doing service without any discrimination. Serving society with equality and spreading love is the Sikh way of living life.
Sikhism is a way of life and philosophy that is well ahead of its time. It sermonizes the message of devotion in the way of treating mankind equally. Believing in social justice and helping mankind is the way to embrace life and spread love. As various people around the globe recognize Sikhism as a monotheistic religion, our motto is to make people aware, prevent the misleading word, and emphasize on spreading unity and peace. It was introduced to the world by Guru Nanak Dev Ji around the year 1469; he was one of the Ten Gurus (Saints) who brought the word of righteousness and spirituality from God to manifest on earth. Sikhism is amongst the fifth largest religion in the world popularly practiced in Asia and America.
There is no love sincerer than the love of food – As being a part of this beautiful community, we understand the importance of food to one in need. Service to God is service to mankind; therefore, the best way to serve people is through Langars (Community Kitchen), which is generally held in Gurudwara (Sikh Temple). Sitting down and sharing food is the best way to celebrate socialism and grow as individuals with a sense of responsibility towards helping one another. The intent of serving food to people is to bring people together as one, regardless of their background.
