Charity overview

Activities - how the charity spends its money

Diwali is a time of celebration and happiness. However, unfortunately there are many people in our communities who, for whatever reason, do not have much to cheer about. Some families struggle to make ends meet. The Diwali Foundation is our small effort to support and spread the message of hope, happiness, and giving to those in need from all faiths and backgrounds
