  • Guru Nanak's Free Kitchen Celebrates One Billion Rising to Empower Women On V-Day
New Westminster BC - On February 14 2015 from 2:00 to 4:00 pm at Sukh Sagar Gurdwara located at 347 Wood Street New Westminster, Guru Nanak's Free Kitchen (GNFK) will be partaking in their 3rd annual One Billion Rising Celebration, this year joined by Global Girl Power in  support of the global movement V-Day by Eve Ensler.  
 
V-Day is a global call to action started in 2012 to raise awareness on violence against women; people all over the world are encouraged to share their stories through dance, art, music, dialogue, service projects and community gatherings to express their outrage for  injustices women suffer and  demanding an end to violence against women.  
 
For the last 2 years GNFK has visited local shelters and provided women and children in need with roses and chocolates on Valentine's Day following Guru Nanak's philosophy to "Love all, feed all."  
 
This year they have over 40 shelters on the list and will be taking donations of funds, chocolates or roses up to February 14th.
 
To donate you may do so directly to Sukh  Sagar Gurdwara, emailgurunanaksfreekitchen@gmail.com or call 604-218-1347.
