The current COVID-19 pandemic not only brought life to a standstill but also halted all regular centre activities. The pandemic brought with it sadness, despair, disbelief and helplessness. The sudden impact of this pandemic was felt even more in the lower income group and in that section of the community that depends on societal assistance. Due to the imposed social distancing and curtailed mobility, food banks were facing acute shortages of donations. An email from our Centre, referencing the important information and the recommendation for COVID 19, from SSIO on March 25, 2020 brought a glimmer of hope where it said that -“Service initiatives may be needed for vulnerable populations, Elderly, Low-Socio-economic individuals…”. This opened an opportunity for a new Service activity. The activity was named the ‘Pick up food drive’ as part of Narayana Seva in the month of Aradhana Mahotsavam. The place where we were going to offer our service was the Seva Food Bank. The Seva Food Bank provides safe, nutritious, and ethnically appropriate food to low-income families living in seven postal codes across Mississauga, in the Greater Toronto Area. Around 900 families depend on this food bank every month and this number drastically increased during the pandemic as a lot of people had been laid off their jobs. It was the Ladies wing who proposed this initiative; however, there was a lot of coordinated support from all the wings during the coordinators meeting. The idea of picking the items from the members’ houses on specified Saturdays came up during the meeting. Once the plan was agreed upon, a broadcast email was sent out to all the members to take part in our first ‘Food Bank Seva – via pick up’. The email included the hand washing, hygiene guidelines and informational poster which had items the Food bank needed with recommended guidelines for volunteers. A spreadsheet was prepared to help the teams in having a record of names and addresses. Tremendous support and enthusiasm marked this initiative. The Seva and the Ladies Wing coordinated to pick up the food items from the members’ homes. Many members who were not able to personally buy the food items donated money to the service coordinator. The food items were picked were weighed after the first and second pick up. The first Saturday pick was 550 pounds and the second pick up came to 40 pounds. which was later dropped off by the coordinators of the Ladies wing and the Seva Wing to the Food Bank location at Slough Street, Mississauga. The Cooksville Sai Centre’s “Food Bank Seva-via pick up” is a humble offering towards Aradhana Day Mahotsavam.
