]]> Diwali is a Hindu festival originating from India which celebrates light. It’s India’s most treasured holiday and a beautiful time for families, friends, and acquaintances to come together eat, and jolly. It marks the beginning of a new year in the Hindu calendar.

We also are joining the bandwagon and would be celebrating this year’s Diwali by bringing light to people’s lives. We would be providing meals to people who are in need and smiles along with it!

This is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy our humanity and you can become a part of this. You can contribute and help feed the homeless from the comfort of your home. How???

If you can provide fresh, mouthwatering food, we would love to arrange for one of our volunteers to collect the food from you.

It is also interesting that around Diwali, there are usually a lot of parties that are hosted by people and a lot of food is made for that cause. However, stacks of food often end up untouched which ends up wasted. If you are aware of anyone hosting a Diwali dinner this winter, please connect us with them and we would be happy to collect the food and ensure it reaches the right hands.

Reach out to us to donate a mean if

  • you want to donate one for a noble cause as you celebrate your Diwali parties at home
  • you have some fresh and untouched food once your party is over
  • OR cook a meal for the homeless

We will be happy to work with you whichever way of donation you choose.

If you are interested in this cause and are passionate about this movement in any form, please reach out to us via email at admin@ashahopeamanaki.org or text/WhatsApp to +1(662)-786-0922

By November, our goal is to reach 300 meals, so what are you waiting for, reach out to us now and join the celebration!

Introduction
The current U.S. economic expansion recently passed its nine-year mark, making it the second
longest expansion on record since World War II. Labor force participation rates are up,
unemployment rates are low, and median household incomes—adjusted for inflation—reached
an all-time high in 2016.

In an October 2017 survey, one in five Portlanders indicated they had personally been homeless at some point in their lives. And 41 percent of respondents knew a family member or friend who had experienced homelessness.

1.New complete set of cloths for men, women, kids and infants.

     Many people donate gently used and new clothes to homeless shelters and secondhand stores. However, only a small portion of those donations are unused socks and underwear. Most shelters around the world need these items desperately.

2. Gently used or new winter coats, gloves, hats, and scarves

    The change of seasons brings attention to donation items that are especially helpful during colder months.

3. Dental hygiene products and generic medications 

    Good mouth hygiene is essential to avoid diseases of the mouth and rotting teeth. Homeless shelters often provide dental items to those who seek them. Shelters only accept dental hygienic products that are unused or unopened. Items with a high demand include toothbrushes, toothpaste, floss, and mouthwash. For mouthwash and toothpaste, shelters typically prefer them in travel sizes for easy transportation and distribution. And also these shelters are highly in demand of  some basic medications such as Tylenol, ibuprofen etc 

4. Bedding items

    Many folks in need go to homeless shelters for a warm place to sleep. The high demand for beds leads shelters to ask for more bedding material donations. Contact your local shelter to see if they accept gently used bedding or only new materials. Some shelters run mattress drives, so if you are looking to remove a mattress from your home, keep an eye out for any accepting organizations.

5. Toiletries

    Toiletries are much appreciated by homeless shelters. The supply of these items depletes quickly at shelters, so they are nearly always welcome. Access to toiletries used for bathing can have a great influence on people’s mental health. Regular bathing can improve mood and self-esteem. This confidence can make a world of difference to people and families who are financially struggling. If you’d like to collect toiletries for donations, make sure to add a few of the following:

  • Shampoo and conditioner
  • Shower caps
  • Face and body wash
  • Soap
  • Shower gel
  • Shaving cream and razors
