Become a Volunteer
Give a few hours of your time and serve with us. Volunteers are the hands of Deepam's Annadhanam and service work, and everyone is welcome, whatever your age or skills.
Why volunteer
Serve with your hands, in Vallalar's spirit
Vallalar taught that easing the hunger and suffering of living beings is the highest worship. Volunteering is a simple way to live that teaching: serve a meal, comfort a patient, encourage a student. Whether you can come every week or only for one event a year, there is a place for you.
