Volunteering
Through Sewa Volunteering, I’ve concentrated on hunger relief, healthcare support, and advancing community welfare. My goal is to empower underserved communities to achieve lasting well‑being through sustainable, compassionate initiatives.
Food Donation Camp
I volunteered with a group to donate food to a charity. We collected items like rice, beans, meat, and other foods and packed them in to individual boxes and delivered it to the charity to help families in need.
It felt great knowing that our donations would help less fortunate people enjoy meals. This was a rewarding experience, and I’m proud to have been part of such an important cause.
Candy Donation to the Army
I got the opportunity to volunteer in an initiative to donate 500 lbs of candy to the army. The objective was to bring joy to the soldiers who are far from home protecting our country. It felt great to be part of something that showed them appreciation and gave them a little treat during tough times. It was a simple way to make a difference, and it reminded me how important it is to give back and help others. I'm fortunate to have been able to do this and support those who serve us.
California Fires
I’m helping out at a chess tournament that is raising money for people affected by the California wildfires. The fires have destroyed many homes and hurt a lot of communities. This event is a way to support them. As a volunteer, I help set things up, organize the games, and make sure everything runs well. It feels good to be part of something that helps others. The money we raise will go toward helping families rebuild their homes and lives.
JRA
The Jewish Relief Agency (JRA) is a group that helps people in need. Volunteers of all ages help pack and deliver boxes of food and other supplies to families who don’t have enough. These boxes include things like canned food, fresh fruits and vegetables, diapers, and school supplies. JRA wants to make sure that everyone has the things they need to live a better life. It’s based on a Jewish value called tikkun olam, which means helping to make the world a better place.
Dental Care for the Un-insured
There are about 68M people in the United States who do not have dental insurance. I participated in a camp where we helped medical professionals provide basic dental care. Patients got basic dental checkup, along with free brushes and fruits. I helped build and manage the tent in the camp. I loved the experience because this was my first exposure to such a medical camp.
Air Force air show
I had the opportunity to volunteer at the Power In The Pines Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst Open House and Air Show 2025. This biannual event is held to engage the community, showcase military capabilities, and honor service members. As a volunteer at the information booths, I was able to interact with many Air Force personnel and hear about their experiences firsthand. It was a humbling and inspiring experience that deepened my appreciation for those who serve.
Food Donation
Serving food at the Guruvayappan temple opened my eyes to the power of giving without taking. As people came to pick up their portions, I learned how some hot food could melt worries away, replace stress with comfort, and convert frowns into smiles. It made me appreciate that when it comes to giving, it's not about how much you give, but how much from the heart you give it with hospitality. These people were super grateful, which showed me that gratitude is something we often underestimate, but it's so essential for those who truly have little. I left with a warm heart and a sense of happiness for having contributed to someone else's prosperity, and I've come to learn that the power to help others is especially humbling.
5k Run
This happened while I stood on the side of the 5K cheering on runners. It amazed me how much encouragement helped. Basic things like "You can do it!" and clapping every time a runner passed by helped. Some people smiled, and others sped up, but it taught me that a simple few words go a long way. It's not that we need the grand, extreme efforts to accomplish anything. Instead, it taught me that a positive actions and being present to support those around me helps create a stronger community, and it feels nice to be the reason someone keeps pushing forward.
Food Donation
Volunteering to pack food for the donation center was an unforgettable experience that reminded me how much of a difference a small group of people can make. We worked together to fill bags with essential items, carefully assembling about 150 meals for families in our community who need them most. Standing at the assembly line and seeing the stacks of completed bags grow was incredibly rewarding. It felt absolutely amazing to know that our hands-on efforts would go directly toward helping someone put a meal on their table.
JRA
Volunteering with JRA to pack food boxes was an incredibly rewarding experience. I spent my time walking around the warehouse line, carefully packing essential items into boxes to be delivered to families in need. Knowing that the effort put into each box would go directly to helping people in the community filled me with an amazing sense of purpose and joy.
Tutoring
It was a an amazing and fun experiance to teach. I spent my time teaching someone the topics of algebra and geometry. It was really fun to plan the lessons and come up with questions for my student. It really showed me that with a little help anyone can gain the knowledge required to excel in classes whether that be math or science. It was a really nice experiance because I got to be that role of a little help for someone.
