One of our guests David said “ The volunteers at DREAMSAI, are very caring and generous it their work, they make sure that you don't want for anything, and deliver food hampers to the not well off in the Milton Keynes area. I don't know what I would have done without the help and kind donations during the period of lockdown, when I could not get deliveries from Supermarkets, nor help from my own family who live some distance away from me. Thank you so very much for all your kind deeds and donations.”
Hundreds of community members share their appreciation for the work we do. DREAMSAI is a wholly volunteer and local community led charity organization formed in 2018 to support local community. This charity led by members of British Indian community launched many successful projects and consistently delivered to meet the needs of diverse communities irrespective of color, creed, sex, or faith. One of the 3 main objectives of the DREAMSAI charity is to support the people in need by supplying food, winter essentials, and hygiene items - the other two being blood donation camps & Indian spiritual events.
Food poverty and homelessness has raised considerably in last few years, despite effort from many Individuals, charity organizations, and the local government. As we investigated food poverty, we learned it is not just what we see on streets. There are many people in temporary accommodations who need a meal or essentials. Since launch, DREAMSAI's food and winter essential hampers had a profound effect on many vulnerable people in Milton Keynes. DREAMSAI understand that pride is difficult to overcome for many, so we have consciously named the packs as “hampers” which are wrapped with love and delivered as a “gift”
FOOD FOR SAI: Through this project, we serve meals every weekend to guests who are homeless or in temporary accommodation. We currently serve over 120 meals every week. Our food pack usually includes a main course, crisp/chocolate, fruit, and bottle of water/soft drink. Seeing the guests eating their meal within few seconds of delivery says it all.
WINTER ESSENTIALS PACKS: Through this project, we donate winter essentials packs which usually contains Jumper, socks, sanitary towels, toothbrush, toothpaste, shower gel, Shampoo & bath soaps. Around 100 packs are donated in 2018 & 2019 winters.
COVID OUTREACH: So far outreach delivered 2500 hampers containing 100,000 perishable & non-perishable food items in addition to 4000+ PPE items in communities.
FESTIVE HAMPERS: Following Saibaba doctrine "SABKA MALIK EK" which translates to "One GOD for all", DREAMSAI gives festive hampers to those in need to enable them to celebrate their traditions. Hampers are distributed to Christmas, Diwali, Easter, Eid and many occasions throughout the year - a great way to share the culture with diverse communities.
SCHOOL PACKS: Pupils from eight schools in Milton Keynes are supported with food essential packs. The wonderful DREAMSAI hampers made such a difference to school children.
TESTIMONIALS:
“Over the last 4 months I have seen several pleas for help from and for people struggling to feed themselves and their family. After I dropped them some details Dreamsai were there for these people in an instant delivering much need food. Thank you for everything you are doing. You are truly amazing.” – Cheryl
“I would like to say that Dream Sai helped me tremendously throughout my shielding experience in lockdown. Their help and kindness meant so much to me. The volunteers that came to my home were so friendly and always greeted me with kind words. Nothing I received was not useable or unhealthy. They even gave me a few treats which was very welcoming. I knew that if I picked up the telephone and spoke to a member of their team they would always help me. If ever I need their help again, I will have no problem in reaching out to these kind generous people. Keep up the good work, I will forever be grateful to each and every one of you xxx” - Jean
“My mum was one of the recipients of your parcels yesterday. When I saw what had been provided, it brought a tear to my eye. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for your help and kindness in difficult times" – Daughter of an 86 old lady.
“Thank you for the fantastic delivery you made to me today. I am deeply moved, and I can't thank the Indian community enough. You have turned my spirits around I feel truly blessed and not truly desperate as I have been” – A community member
