CURRY WITHOUT WORRY
Invite reviews
Curry without Worry is about community without borders. It is about sharing a meal with those less fortunate. I have volunteered for CWOW for 2 years helping to prepare the meals and have found such pride in how they are prepared with attention to nutrition , taste,variety and attractive presentation. It gives all of us working such joy to offer meals that provide everyone we serve our very best. Curry without Worry makes me realize we all need to extend our world to everyone- a stranger ceases to be a stranger, and the possibility of hope and equality become possiible when we break bread together. A day can make a difference in our lives, and Curry without Worry helps to make a difference with each meal it gives to those in need and to those who are lucky enough to prepare and serve those meals.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
seeing people come back to us ,once they have gotten on their feet , to offer us their service as a token of gratitude. One young man told me he would not have made it through without the meal we provided each week. He came back to voluteer.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
All the people I have met that want so much for everyone. The sense of extended community to those in need.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
make the world a less hungry place and help to create larger community awareness to the needy and our mutual need for each other to get to higher ground.

The amazing thing about CWOW is that it is much more than a 'soup kitchen' experience. The difference lies in the food, and the people who serve it. The food that is served in very healthy, freshly made, often from Organic, and sometimes local ingredients. The food is then served amongst dancing, drumming, and the true warm Nepali spirit. It is a joining of Eastern and Western cultures, and always proves to be a rewarding experience. I hope you can make it someday!

I am one of the volunteer who helps to cook, serve and clean dishes. I have been helping the organization for more then 2 years and I am very happy to say the experience has been awesome. Whether it is in kitchen or in civic center serving food, the vibe is always positive... people are always smiling and enjoying. Shrawan Nepali is always there with his madal(nepali drum) and his song to uplift the spirit even in the glummest weather. The group that makes the cwow happen are so amazing that every time I have friends and families visiting city, I make a point to bring them to civic center to experience cwow. I am proud to say all of them returned with a smile on their face.

Curry Without Worry is an amazing organization that does a great service for the city of San Francisco. They bring not only nourishment in the form of a 5 course Nepalese meal, but a boost of morale and spirit to the hundreds of people they feed every Tuesday at the San Francisco Civic Center. The city is lucky to have such a great group of people giving back to the Community. Also, Shrawan the founder is an absolute rock star.

Curry without Worry provides holistic Nepolese nourishment. My son Jack has shared with me stories of meals to hungry guests in the heart of downtown San Francisco. It is more than food for the body, it is food for the soul. We all have more in common than we have as differences. Eating is a communal way to equalize relationships and begin anew. Thanks Curry without Worry!

I had the pleasure of experiencing CWOW while visiting my good friend, Emily Daggett, in San Francisco last winter. She is dedicated to volunteering every Tuesday night, and it was a joy to share in both the preparation and delivery of the meal to the community. Even though it was cold and raining, volunteers had a smile on their face, and pleasantly served each community member who came to enjoy the meal. I hope to have the chance to serve with CWOW again!

An organization full of people who want to not only feed people, but connect people in a personal way. I was lucky to attend an event and volunteer one evening, and both times I felt like I got more than I gave.

I am impressed with the level of compassion and dedication to serve demonstrated by the founder and long-time volunteers. They haven't missed a Tuesday in 3 years and the consistent presence of Curry Without Worry truly is a god-send for many of the clients. Though there are many organizations feeding the homeless and low income in San Francisco, CWOW believes that the disadvantaged communities need more than just a hot meal. Music, song and recognizing the humanity of each guest is at the forefront of the service.

Open up branches of Curry Without Worry worldwide, create jobs for students and the unemployed serving meals, spreading awareness, and offering other services. They would also open a Community Center or several to serve meals all day, every day.
