    Community Outreach

    Amma’s Pantry Seva

    Help hungry families in your community. Every two months, volunteers collect food donations for Amma's Pantry at MA Center during a Saturday evening program. After each collection, they deliver donations to the Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano, where the food is distributed directly into the community.
