Washington, DC, February 08, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Sikhcess™, a community-service organization dedicated to promoting the basic Sikh principles of public service and equality, today announced that the Organization has received formal approval as an official not-for-profit organization by way of 501(c)3 non-profit, tax-exempt status, and as such, is now able to proactively work with financial contributors, donors-in-kind, and other supporters.
“Our status as a not-for-profit couldn’t come at a better time, as we prepare to launch our initiative to feed the homeless around the world, the largest-ever effort of its kind,” explained Mr. Amit Singh, Executive Director of Sikhcess™. “On March 1st, volunteers throughout the globe will participate with efforts to feed the homeless and needy in Canada, the United States, Great Britain, Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, and other nations.
“It’s comforting to know that our financial contributors, donors in-kind, and other backers will now qualify for the tax deduction benefits associated with their support of our efforts,” concluded Mr. Singh.

About the Sikhcess™ ‘Feed the Homeless’ Campaign
The Sikhcess™ ‘Feed the Homeless’ campaign began in January 2007 in Vancouver, Canada. The campaign’s initial goal was to distribute 15,000 food packages to Vancouver’s homeless population within 12 months. Eventually, North America’s entire Sikh community rallied behind the program, distributing more than 70,000 food packages throughout numerous cities across the United States and Canada in only 11 months.
Through the efforts of this campaign, food packages have been delivered to homeless communities in: Vancouver, BC; Surrey, BC; Toronto, ONT; New York, NY; Detroit, MI; Chicago, IL; Los Angeles, CA; Cincinnati, OH; Boston, MA; Newark, NJ; San Francisco, CA; Oakland, CA; San Jose, CA; Washington, D.C.; Baltimore, MD; Fairfax, VA; Houston, TX; Atlanta, GA; Cleveland, OH; Oklahoma City, OK; Tulsa, OK; and Miami, FL.
Every month, the homeless and needy receive thousands of food packages generously donated by the entire Sikh community. In exchange, Sikhcess™ volunteers receive countless hugs, smiles and a heart-felt “thank you”, many times over. Sikhcess™ thanks all those who contribute to the ‘Feed the Homeless’ campaign with their charitable support of time, effort, food, and kitchen facilities.
Inquiries for donations of food and supplies to the homeless should be directed to Info@Sikhcess.com or to Mr. Amit Singh at 248-990-1245.
