On December 7th at SEWA-AIFW, we proudly celebrated the incredible dedication and generosity of over 140 community members who consistently step up to volunteer and support us whenever help is needed. This special moment was a chance to recognize the time, effort, and heart our volunteers give to ensure our programs and events run smoothly and continue to serve our community. We are deeply grateful for your unwavering commitment, selflessness, and readiness to lend a helping hand as your support truly makes a lasting difference.

Thank you to our event sponsor India Spice House - Restaurant for their incredibly generous support and food donation that made the event possible.

We are honored to be able to provide such a service to our community to ensure their safety.
