Our mission

Keeping with the Sikh tradition, Khalsa Care Foundation is dedicated to helping all people. The concept of seva (selfless service or volunteering or donating without asking for anything in return) can be easily seen at Khalsa Care Foundation.

Preparing 3,000 Free Meals DAILY for Department Of Disability + L.A Mayor's Office

Starting June 1st, we will be making 3,000 meals daily for the Department of Disability & L.A Mayor’s Office. Each meal will include a water bottle & small snack/dessert. These meals will be delivered to households across all of Los Angeles daily by Access Transportation to those who are most vulnerable & have some disability where they cannot leave their home or cook meals. 

 

This service will be in addition to the once a week drive thru hot meal program Khalsa Care does currently does for their local community along with meals for homeless shelters & other non-profit organizations for their communities’ need for hot meals. 

Over 127,000 meals will be prepared between May 18-July 3rd alone. 

We are in need of 50 volunteers everyday to prepare 3,000 meals between 8-11:30am Monday-Friday. Would love to welcome anyone who is available to come help as this is a service opportunity for everyone from all walks of life to help out our local community!

About us

KCF is a Gurdwara and is located in Pacoima, California, which is a historically low-income area. KCF is very aware of the community that surrounds us and knew that many families were struggling to simultaneously maintain a roof over their head and food on the table. We believe that no one should worry about whether they will be able to feed their children and family. To help combat this issue, KCF Food Pantry was established in October 2013. The pantry is open every Friday from 5:30pm-6:30pm and hands out food bags weekly to any family in need in the San Fernando Valley. These bags contain enough food for the week and include perishable and non-perishable items, such as cans, bread, cereal, pasta, fruits, and vegetables. The list goes on and we pride ourselves in having the resources to be able to continue this important seva. With the increase in unemployment and health concerns caused by COVID19, we want to remain an institution that our community (Sikhs and non-Sikhs alike) can rely on.
