Celebrating
Christmas at the Soup kitchen NH by We Care Charity December 23rd
2017 was a very special day for a group of kids. We care charity; a 501 © (3)
non-profit hosted approximately 14 kids at the Soup Kitchen, Nashua NH to give
thanks and celebrate Christmas with the homeless. Kids and parents from
different towns like Burlington, Woburn came together on an icy, brutal cold
day to prepare dinner for 300 homeless people at the Soup Kitchen, Nashua, NH. Kinder
Gardeners to College students spent their Christmas vacation for a selfless
cause. Shefali Kalyani; the founder of the organization; greeted
the kids and helped them to make a healthy dinner for the homeless. We all
washed After washing hands Kids helped in making pasta with meat and veggies; salad
and garlic bread to eat at the center and packed ham sandwiches and resin in
brown bags to take out. Some kids cut onions, lettuce, cucumber, pepper and
peeled potatoes for the first time. It was funny to watch kids crying while
peeling and cutting onions. Kids were proud to learn the act of giving through
this experience. Kids made garlic bread by cutting loaf of bread; using homemade
garlic butter spread and helping to put them in the oven. A room full of kids;
working together without arguing and fighting was a scene to watch. After
working for 2 hours; kids still wanted to wait and serve, but kids had to leave
respecting policy “No Children while servingâ€. Shefali talked to the group about We care charity. She
talked about the organization and roles of individuals to make we care charity a
successful nonprofit. The organization has zero over-head, unpaid volunteers
and a big heart to keep serving 2000 meals per month. 100% of the donation is
used for the cause. We care charity

support of various donors and annual event “Dil Seâ€; which means from heart. As

it provides educational assistant to deserving students. We care charity is
proud to have Meal on wheels; where volunteers deliver meals to disable needy
individuals. Kids listened to Shefali for 30 mins, completely hypnotized
by her talk. She was overwhelmed with the questions and concerns from an over-enthusiastic
young group. We were privileged to get a private tour to the soup kitchen by
Shefali. She thanked parents and kids for their support and generosity. We all dispersed
with hugs and kisses; wishes and blessings from Shefali and promising to return
