COVID19 disrupted the daily life of everyone and pushed many to the edge of existence.

Many school children dependent on school lunches suddenly are left without the support due to closure of schools. Many workers, dependent on daily wage for meeting both ends started starving as they lost daily livelihood. Medical professionals continued to fight at the front lines compromising their own safety. A large percentage of medical professionals themselves are diagnosed with COVID.

NFSS organized under the Sai Baba Temple of Greater Cincinnati jumped in to make a difference in their small way. NFSS was organized with more than 60 members contributing frequently to support the needs of deprived. The members are energized by the challenge of COVID and started multiplying their contributions. Several volunteers quickly organized into task groups to offer services.

In the last one month under various initiatives NFSS could make a difference touching more than 2000 people. Weekly once groceries are supplied to the below food pantries around Mason, OH for redistribution to the needy.
