The temple makes lunch available to devotees on weekends and special holidays for a nominal donation. The lunch counter is open from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM on Saturday and Sumdays and from 6:00PM to 8:00 PM on Fridays with a different menu every week.

Volunteers are needed to pack and distribute the food and help with cleanup. In addition, while the Temple has cooks to prepare the food, sometimes volunteers are also needed to help with the preparation of the food. A Temple Food Committee member will always be present in the kitchen during food distribution.

We think that this is an excellent volunteering opportunity for families, including children. The time commitment is limited to between 10.30 AM and 5 PM on a Saturday or Sunday of your choice. You are also welcome to sign up on a monthly or quarterly basis if you would like to participate more frequently.

We strongly urge you to sign up for this important volunteer activity and get your family members and friends involved. Please contact us using the Volunteer Sign up Form, and an SSVT food committee member will call or email you to set up your scheduled day for food distribution. In addition you will receive a message reminding you of your commitment 2 weeks prior to the scheduled day.
