The Values That
Guide Our Work
Seva Food Bank is the first major initiative of Sikhs Serving Canada, a not-for-profit organization committed to creating meaningful, lasting change. Our mission is grounded in six guiding values that shape how we serve, support, and engage with the community.
Sarbat da Bhalla - The Wellbeing of All
Every individual is divine. It is our inherent responsibility to look after each other in our community so no one is left behind.
Chardi Kala - Eternal Optimism
Tomorrow will be better than today. We inject this optimism into all our interactions and plans.
Seva - Selfless Service
Each of us has a responsibility to give back in any way we can. We serve with humility, compassion and gratitude, treating everyone equitably with dignity and respect.
Diversity and Inclusion
Diverse values, beliefs, and behaviours, and social, cultural and linguistic needs of all communities will be considered in the services and supports that they require. These needs are integral to ensuring that our communities have access to and participate in all levels of our mission-based projects, activities and organizations.
Transparency and Accountability
Our stakeholders receive relevant information in an accessible and timely manner that ensures we answer for our actions and commitments.
Client-Centric and Community-Informed
Our solutions are developed and implemented through engaging and involving the community.
Since 2010
Serving with Dignity. Nourishing Hope.
Hunger isn’t just about food. It’s about fairness.
Since opening our doors in 2010, Seva Food Bank has been more than a place to pick up groceries — it’s been a source of compassion, community, and care for individuals and families in need.
That’s why Seva is rethinking what it means to be a food bank in our community. Yes, we still provide fresh, culturally appropriate food with dignity. But we’re also investing in wraparound services that empower people, connect them to opportunity, and help build a future where no one goes hungry.
Rooted in Service, Growing Through Community
