Mother's Kitchen
Amma has graced us with three ongoing Mother’s Kitchens in New England serving:
- Abby’s House in Worchester, MA
- Waltham Women’s Shelter in Waltham, MA
- Plimpton House in Hartford, CT
Amma is continually showing and teaching us how important it is to feed those less fortunate than ourselves. If you would like to participate in this deep, heart-based seva there are many options available.
One way to get involved is to help prepare a meal. Another way of being part of Mother’s Kitchen is to help by sponsoring all, or part of, a meal. Any support is greatly appreciated. If you are thinking of sponsoring a meal, please contact the appropriate coordinator below for details.
