Since 1984, more than 1.1 million meals have been provided for homeless and poor persons, living on the streets of Atlanta, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Colombia, Orlando and Miami, by members of the Community through the Street Meals Project.

In some areas, such as Atlanta, the Street Meals Project was taken over by yoga centres and community service volunteers, in order to keep up with the growing demand.

Khenpo’s guru taught, “There are no throw-away people,” and it is with this in mind that we continue to do all we can to extend the Street Meals Project wherever it is needed.

If you’d like to start a Street Meals program in your area, we can help point you in the right direction, and teach you everything we’ve learned about successfully developing the project, training volunteers and delivering the meals to those in need.

Future plans for the Street Meals Project includes establishing a food pantry and building a restaurant and soup kitchen, focused on providing affordable meals to those struggling financially, and (in the soup kitchen) provide meals for the homeless, sick and poor. You are welcome to join the kitchen crew as we make sandwiches, assemble lunch bags and help us deliver them to the poor and homeless in any of several locations throughout the United States.

Donations are always welcome. To donate to the food program, please designate your contribution to the StreetMeals Fund. Donations may be made by cash, cheque, pre-authorized debit from your bank account, credit card or through the convenient Chip-In service (which you can access below).
