Chinmaya Mission Alpharetta successfully coordinated the Chinmaya Tej 5K CORD Walkathon event on a May 7th, 2022 at @south_forsyth_middle South Forsyth Middle school after the pandemic and gap of nearly 3 years. Over 350 people registered and about 250 showed up at the event day to walk and bond for the noble cause. The event was initiated by 8 coordinators to start with in February but it grew to about 50 volunteers working together with smile in the lips and service in the heart on the event day to bring this endeavor to fruition! There were many Company sponsors who came forward donating generously. The proceeds raised would help further the various @CORD INDIA. Way to go CM Alpharetta!

March 2022: Thanks to our Chinmaya Gangotri community for their continued support for all the seva initiatives.IMD Guest House builds community and healing by providing comfortable, affordable accommodation for patients and their families throughout their treatment who cannot afford the nightly rate of Chicago hotels and helping to ensure no patient is turned away for financial reasons.Helping a sick family member can take a big emotional toll on families. Their work at this project helped to create a positive supportive environment. We donated 30 welcome kits and were able to cover every occupied room last weekend.We were able to meet with some occupants and hear about the compassionate programs offered to the families including veterans who need special assistance to get back to their lives in the society. We heard some emotional and personal stories which reminded us of the importance of serving others.
Feb 2022: Chinmaya Gangotri volunteers delivered about 80 friendship cards and goodie bags to Little Brothers - Friends of the Elderly organization on February 12th.Special thanks to all the families who participated by making beautiful friendship cards and packing goodies which will be delivered along with the groceries to the elderly.
Jan 2022: Chinmaya Gangotri volunteer families dropped off their own donations and volunteered to sort the donations in the warehouse at Cradles to Crayons on January 29th. We sorted hats and gloves and packaged them based on age groups. We colored cards and included them in the bags. We also packaged newborn supplies for parents. It was a wonderful seva for families to do together.
