Sri Shirdi Sai Society of North East Florida (SSSSNEFL) is a non-profit organization with a mission to take care of wellbeing and organize/sponsor cultural, educational, charitable, humanitarian activities such as medical aid to the indigent. SSSSNEFL also provides relief support during natural calamities and has a monthly “Feed the destitute (Annadaana)” in Jacksonville, Florida and various other organizations around the globe.
Our purpose is to provide a platform and opportunity for all fellow beings to live in world peace through a wide range of humanitarian activities and selfless service called “Seva”. SSSSNEFL is a registered non-profit organization, adheres to its By-laws and depends on community support and continual contributions from various patrons. We deeply depend and operate based on all the persistent financial support and donations from our community members and at large on Annual and Life Membership dues.
“Seva”, or selfless service to society is performed through a wide range of humanitarian activities including but not limited to Health and Wellness, Community Empowerment, Feed the needy, etc. initiatives.
We partnered with “Life South” organization and plans an annual “Blood Drive” campus at our temple every year. Donating Blood is a vital way of saving lives! Despite medical and technological advances, blood cannot be made and hence donations are the only way we can give blood for the people who need it. As many of you are aware, there is shortage of Blood for Jacksonville residents who are in need. We partnered with Indo-American medical association and organize an Annual Community Health Fair every year.
We are helping the local shelters by sponsoring food and meal services on a regular basis. On the Memorial Day weekend, we sponsor for two local shelters – 2,500 meals to Sulzbacher Charity, 611 E Adams Steet, Jacksonville and 2,500 Meals to St. Francis Home, 70 Wahington St, St. Augustine. On the Thanksgiving Day, we sponsor for two local shelters 175 Food Baskets to Sulzbacher Charity, 611 E Adams Steet, Jacksonville, St. Francis Home, 70 Wahington St, St. Augustine and Southwoods at Elkton. We have conducted food drive with local communities and donated Funds to Red Cross for Ian relief fund. We also sponsor food supplies to a local shelter – Sulzbacher Charity for Christmas every year.
May the world be blessed with Peace and great Health!
