My Nonprofit Reviews

Amma’s Portland, Oregon Satsang, Amma’s teachings are clear, “Love the poor wholeheartedly. Go to their level. Believe that it is your dharma, your God-given duty to love and serve the poor." Amma’s charitable projects in India feed millions of people each year. Mother’s Kitchen Projects throughout the United Sates allow devotees the opportunity to bring Amma’s mission to their communities. Since 2006 the Portland Mother's Kitchen Team has gleaned, cooked, served, packaged and bussed over 7200 meals to Oregonian’s experiencing poverty and homelessness. The project has been a beautiful outpouring of love, service and commitment to nourish the hungry. The Mother’s Kitchen Team served hot, nutritious, organic meals on the last Sunday of the month to the residents of Dignity Village, a camp on the outskirts of town. The campers relied on the “Amma People” to bring dinner when their food stamps had run out. The Team also donated warm clothing, propane tanks and building materials. Team members also volunteer at Sister’s Of The Road Café, Loaves & Fishes - Meals On Wheels, Potluck In The Park, and St. Francis Dinning Hall. In 2008, the Team began serving dinner at Blanchet House of Hospitality, a recovery program and feeding center in Portland’s Old Town neighborhood. The 10 member Team serves and busses approximately 300 meals in 1 hour. We work in a safe, clean and sober environment so families and teenagers are encouraged to attend. The Portland Mother’s Kitchen Project is open to everyone. It is a wonderfully humbling experience to see intro the eyes of the homeless, hear their stories and offer a plate of good food. With Amma’s Grace, we continue to pray and serve those in need. With Great Respect,
