Nandini and I met at a women's event several years ago. We instantly connected, and I quickly discovered that she is not only gentle-hearted and soft-spoken, but also a generous donor for the causes we support.

Our conversations go beyond the ordinary. We share a sisterly bond and discuss topics that truly matter.

Even in times of pain, we never cease to do good. Nandini possesses qualities that go beyond what is expected of a normal human being.

We all have a purpose, and I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to Nandini for everything she does.

Love,
Sirisha Kompalli

Hello everyone,

Starting this month, we will be conducting food drives every Saturday and Sunday. Additionally, we will be preparing and serving breakfast biweekly on Sundays to the shelter home residents.

We are in need of volunteers who can drop off food at the Leesburg Shelter home at 4 pm.

Food pickup can be arranged either from the volunteer's home or from the Leesburg location.

Thank you to all volunteers Juwala, Yashna, Ruchi, Saritha who prepared and generously donated fresh meals and fruits to 100 residents of the shelter home.

Special thanks to our core team volunteer, Radhika, for dropping off the food at the shelter safely.

Dear Green and Beyond sevaks,

We would like to express our gratitude to Nandamuri and for their incredible support in helping two low-income families today.

Their generous contribution included providing nearly two months' worth of groceries.

We would like to give a special thanks to Jyothi for personally delivering the groceries to each home. And a big shoutout to Priya for going above and beyond by ordering pizza 🍕 for the kids, who were absolutely ecstatic and jumping with joy.

We are truly touched by their kindness and dedication.

As the are skyrocketing, it's incredibly difficult for low-income families to afford fresh produce and feed their families.

At , we have made it our mission to collect fresh produce and distribute it to those in need.

We understand that some individuals don't even have access to transportation to reach our distribution locations. That's why our dedicated volunteers go directly to where they live and ensure that they receive the fresh produce they need.

A heartfelt goes out to all our incredible volunteers and generous providers for making this possible.

It was truly a beautiful day! Many thanks to Maanya for spearheading this wonderful project.

Special thanks to Kavita, Anvitha, Lakshmi, and our exceptional leaders, Griselda and Paula, for their coordination.

Valentine's Day goodie bags and books were distributed to elementary, middle school, and high school students.

Thank you to all community members for contributing towards this initiative.

Seeing those joyful faces filled our hearts with happiness ❤️
