We are excited to launch Sahayana’s Senior Shuttle Initiative—a program dedicated to helping our elders attend their weekly Wednesday meetings safely, with dignity, and care.

We are requesting the seniors who need rides to the senior meetings to sign up here. We will contact offline to get more details.

For more details or to sign up, please fill out the form, and Shyam will reach out to coordinate available Wednesdays.

Thank you for helping us bring “Traveling Together with Dignity, Safety, and Care” to our community.

Please note that we are an all-volunteer organization, with our team members balancing daytime jobs to keep our overhead costs at zero. This ensures that 100% of your annual sponsorship goes directly towards maintaining the Chinmaya Haridwar building and its programs. Since tracking annual sponsorships requires considerable time, we would greatly appreciate your prompt attention to this matter. Closing it quickly will allow our volunteers to continue serving Chinmaya Mission Portland in the best possible way.

As a sponsor, you already know that our organization is entirely volunteer-driven. The success of our programs depends on the dedication and support of enthusiastic sponsors like you, who share and work towards our vision and mission. To ensure everything continues to run smoothly, we encourage active participation in the coordination and daily administration of our center.

Following the guidance and direction from Chinmaya Mission West, the governing body of Chinmaya Mission Portland, we kindly request that, as part of your annual sponsorship, you commit to 30 hours of volunteer time during the academic year. You can choose an area that best aligns with your skills and interests, and we will follow up with you to coordinate further.

Login and check and schedule for virtual queues so that you know where to look.

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT:
In July-aug time, the November schedule will be available. You have to keep watching.
Choose virtualQ
Choose November 7 4-5PM (VERY IMPORTANT TO GET THIS DATE AND TIME)

RESERVE a spot for you, alert this group right away. Once you book your slot, half the work is done.

One person can only register 5 people. So you can try to register 5 pilgrims and add our names if you can get that slot. We will deal with it if we happen to double book. That is less of a problem than not having a slot.
