Hindu American Seva Communities
Building Pluralistic Communities through Seva
The mission. Hindu American Seva Communities (HASC) was founded in 2009 with the guidance of the White House Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships. Its goal is to empower the Hindu community, especially youth, by making service and volunteering a defining part of Hindu American life and culture-and to liaise with government and interfaith groups to communicate Hindu needs, share Hindu points of strength, and build bridges of understanding.
Our five points of focus are to 1) develop dynamic Seva Centers nationwide, 2) improve security for our families and places of Worship, 3) train youth and empower women, 4) promote energy conservation and protect the environment, and 5) educate and advocate toward dharma and social justice. In January 2015, HASC was awarded a federal grant to reach out to South Asians without adequate health insurance to identify affordable health care coverage options and to help them enroll in Marketplace insurance plans. HASC volunteers reached out to South Asians in ethnic grocery stores, temples, gurudwaras, and enrollment centers in New Jersey and Maryland.
Your help will make a world of difference. In just five brief years, HASC has helped comfort, uplift and inspire countless souls. Yet, we are just beginning. There is a great need out there and we welcome your contribution financially or by volunteering in any of our five focus areas listed above.
