OUR MISSION
not at the dinner table, not in a crisis, not in life.
WHO WE ARE
Let’s Share a Meal is a volunteer-led nonprofit organization based in New Jersey committed to feeding the hungry with dignity, kindness, and love. Rooted in the Sikh traditions of Seva (selfless service) and Langar (a communal free kitchen open to all), we provide hot meals, emergency aid, and community support to those who need it most—across the U.S. and beyond.

FOOD ASSISTANCE
What we do: From monthly food drives to emergency meal distributions, we work to ensure that no one in our community goes hungry.
How you can help:
- Join us in preparing and packing meals
- Help us deliver food to shelters, streets, and stations
MEDICAL SUPPORT
What we do: We collaborate with local doctors and health professionals to provide basic medical assistance and first-aid care to those who need it most.

- Volunteer your skills if you’re a healthcare professional
- Donate medical supplies or sponsor wellness kits
SHELTER & MOBILITY

How you can help:
- Donate gently used sleeping bags, warm clothes & shoes
- Support short-term housing initiatives during harsh weather
DISASTER RELIEF
When crisis hits, we mobilize quickly to provide essentials — food, water, hygiene kits, and moral support to those impacted.
How you can help:
- Donate emergency relief funds
- Volunteer on-ground during response efforts
GLOBAL IMPACT
Serving Beyond Borders
Every pin tells a story of service. Our mission to feed the hungry & support communities across borders—because kindness has no limits.
Canada
Some of our volunteers moved to Canada - and they didn't leave the mission behind. They've brought Let's Share A Meal with them, starting local efforts to help families with food drives and school supplies. It's been beautiful to see how the spirit of seva (selfless service) travels with people wherever they go.
United States
Let’s Share A Meal began in the U.S. — from sharing homemade meals to serving across 50 states. Volunteers show up weekly with food, love, and support, especially during Thanksgiving, winters, and hard times.
United Kingdom
Local teams in the UK organize meal kits, school drives, and community events — often with support from Sikh temples and dedicated volunteers.
Ukraine
During the war, we sent medical supplies and baby essentials to doctors in crisis zones. Even from afar, we found ways to help.
Turkey
Though not officially active, we’ve supported disaster relief through our network — raising funds and spreading awareness after major tragedies.
India
In India, we supported communities through the pandemic with oxygen supplies, hospital aid, and food kits. We stood with farmers and migrant families, ensuring no one was left behind.
Nepal
We’ve supported refugee families in Nepal with ration kits, clothing, and resettlement aid, helping restore stability and hope.
Australia
Volunteers who moved from NJ to Australia brought the mission with them, launching local food drives and extending kindness to new communities.
