GOPIO-Manhattan has been doing a community feeding on the last Monday of every month in cooperation with Interfaith Services serving a vegetarian lunch at the Tompkins Square Park in Manhattan (New York City).
Generally, more than 60 homeless and needy turn up for a nutritious vegetarian lunch. Individual community members sponsor this lunch. The program was started in December 2020 by GOPIO-Manhattan with GOPIO Chairman Dr. Thomas Abraham as the first sponsor. Last month feeding was sponsored by GOPIO-Manhattan Secretary Bhavya Gupta. With that GOPIO-Manhattan completes three years of serving the food for the homeless and needy in Manhattan.
GOPIO-Manhattan invites sponsors for 2024 schedules. One may sponsor it for a loved one’s birthday or death anniversary or otherwise. The food is prepared by volunteers of Interfaith Services in a nearby kitchen. Sponsors are welcome to come and serve the food, but not necessary.
