Happy Holi From All Of Us At TSM
Holi mubharak !
This holi season, let’s join together and also brighten the lives around us. Just as we smear vibrant colors on our loved ones this holi , let us smear that same vibrant love and hope to those who need it just a bit more than us.
Our Mission is centered on alienating and eradicating hardships faced by chronically underserved populations. We focus our efforts on meals, clothing distribution , preserving our environment and assisting women and children plagued by gender inequality and social issues.
We strive to build a culture of member involvement in our local communities and facilitate this through charitable giving and volunteering activities.
We ask you to join us in (1) our efforts to give back and (2) our desire to restore divinity and pride to underserved populations in our local community.

Caring For Our Furry Friends
Animals are often neglected, abandoned or abused by irresponsible people unprepared to properly care for them. They are taken in by shelters across the nation and cared for by kind staff members or volunteers until they can find their ‘forever home’.
Today, we visited the intake location of Animal Care Centers of NYC (ACC) (Queens Blvd) to deliver some much needed pet supplies, clothing, toys and food. Until our furry friends finds their ‘forever home’ we can do our part by donating to these organizations. Support you local animal shelter!
