Our Story

The institution of langar was exalted by Guru Nanak Dev Ji. Following Guru Nanak's "sacha sauda" (True investment), Gurudwaras (Sikh temples) across the globe provide free meals to all members of society, regardless of their race, class, caste, religion, creed, sexual orientation, or any other false social divisions, all of which are rooted in the false notion of duality.

Everyone participating in the langar congregation sits together as equals, completely diminishing the hierarchical stratification of society. Inspired by Guru Nanak's mission to spread the teachings of universal Oneness, our team began to ponder ways in which we could do our part to uplift and empower our disenfranchised and disadvantaged brothers and sisters in the greater community.

  • Service and Support Journey

    The journey began with the idea of a langar food truck, delivering meals to Edmonton's inner city. "Seva Food Truck" started as a school program, serving food to the homeless. In response to COVID-19, we launched a grocery hamper program, supporting over 300 families weekly in Sherwood Park. Throughout 2020, our mission persisted, aiding families affected by the pandemic. Now, expanding our efforts, Sikhs for Humanity proudly opens a Food Bank, furthering our commitment to serve those in need.

  • Universal Teaching

    We are committed to proliferating the universal teachings of the Guru Granth Sahib by printing and distributing educational resources, free of charge for all. Our first publication was a pamphlet entitled Sikhism: A Brief Introduction, of which we printed 50,000 copies. This pamphlet made its way to gurdwaras, businesses, hotel rooms, and various Sikhi centric events in the USA and Europe.
