As part of our outreach activities, we were looking for places where we could serve during the pandemic. A pregnancy centre in Toronto that supports families for pregnancy and parenting had seen a dramatic increase in the use of their Care Closet at the Pregnancy Centre. The Centre provides families with diapers, wipes and formula as needed. In the past year, they saw a dramatic rise in the total number of visits, with the greatest need for wipes and diapers. The Ladies wing in collaboration with the Seva team initiated a project to collect wipes and diapers. The collection happened over a period of 2 months and at the end of May, we were able to collect around 4703 diapers and 7316 wipes.

One of the senior members had knitted a few baby blankets and cotton baby shirts. The items were delivered to the pregnancy center at Kitchener on June 1st. by Swami’s grace. The client coordinator emailed and thanked the members saying she was amazed when she saw how many diapers and wipes as well as baby food we donated!!! “You are a HUGE blessing”. The Centre also tagged the Sathya Sai Baba Centre of Cooksville in their social media post to show their appreciation. We thank Swami for providing such wonderful opportunities to serve.
