If you run a charity, shelter, Gurdwara, or organisation, Sikh or otherwise, that supports the homeless and less fortunate, we would be honoured to serve alongside you. Quiet Hands can provide care packages and supplies for the people already in your care.
The idea is simple. You already know the people you serve, their needs, their circumstances, and you have their trust. We can help resource that care with packages and supplies, so that more reaches the people who need it. No cost, no catch, no expectation of anything in return.
ਵਿਚਿ ਦੁਨੀਆ ਸੇਵ ਕਮਾਈਐ॥ ਤਾ ਦਰਗਹ ਬੈਸਣੁ ਪਾਈਐ॥
Vich duneeaa sev kamaa-ee-ai, taa dargeh baisan paa-ee-ai
"Within this world, do seva, only then will you find a seat in the Court of the Lord."
Guru Granth Sahib Ji, Ang 26Seva happens here, in the world, among people, wherever the need is. Partnering across organisations and faiths is simply seva reaching further than any one group could alone.
If your organisation is run by volunteers, one gentle thought. The people who serve give best when their own spirit is kept in Chardi Kala. A little Simran together before seva, a Sangat that shares the load, space to serve without the self taking over, these keep seva rooted in Naam rather than in exhaustion.
ਸਾਧਸੰਗਿ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਜਪਤ ਨਿਰਮਲ ਸਾਚੀ ਰੀਤਿ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
Saadhasang har har japat niramal saachee reet
"In the company of the holy, I meditate on the Lord, Har, Har. My lifestyle is pure and true."
Guru Granth Sahib Ji, Ang 431Seva done together, in Sangat, with Naam kept alive between everyone, is what keeps a group of sevadars strong over time. It is care for the servers as much as the served.
If you could use care packages or supplies for the people you serve, or simply want to talk about serving alongside one another, please reach out. Helping you serve those in your care is exactly what this seva is for.
