Helping the Homeless

For 30 years, about 160 homeless people in Central London were served a fully cooked and wholesome lunch every week. Early every Sunday morning, our volunteers would cook vegetarian meals of rice and a mild vegetable curry in their homes, which they would pack in individual portions, together with a drink and some fresh fruit.

They would then deliver the food parcels to the temple and designated volunteer drivers would deliver the food parcels to 3 drop-off points in Central London, where the homeless are cared for regularly. Our work with the homeless continues with volunteers cooking at ‘the Spires‘ in Tooting Bec, and a new project is currently in the pipeline.
