Our Story

Amma's first visit to Iowa in the summer of 2002 profoundly touched all of us and motivated the local Satsang devotees to follow Mother's selfless example of serving humanity in whatever way possible.

In our rural community, opportunities to serve are more limited than in large metropolitan cities. A couple of years ago, we looked to provide service or support locally, but nothing happened. However, Mother's visit rekindled our enthusiasm and in August of 2002 the Fairfield Mother's Kitchen project began and has continued since that time.

Initially we cooked for the residents at various Salvation army locations. However, many of these were several hours away and the decision was made to focus on needs closer to home. Currently we cook each week for the residents of the crisis center in Ottumwa (twenty minutes away). This crisis center is the only one serving many surrounding counties, including our own, and they have no budget for food. Each week we bring them a prepared meal, pantry items and other donations. We are often told how much the residents look forward to seeing what we've brought for them.
