Wahe Guru Ji ka Khalsa, Wahe Guru Ji ki Fateh

Help keep the Guru’s doors open!

Dear Sadh Sangat,

We all know the Guru Ram Das Ashram Gurdwara is a precious gem in the Guru’s Crown. The beauty and peacefulness of this place is something special.

Your prayers and donations were requested in the last fundraiser for the Gurdwara and Langar Hall and the Sangat responded generously! As a result, we raised $28,000 in pledges and donations toward our annual fundraising goal.

Last year we received $15,000 in our Year End Fundraiser. This year, we need to raise the same amount or more to continue moving forward in meeting our fundraising goals. Your generous donations will allow us to KEEP OUR DOORS OPEN so that we can continue to be together with full hearts and serve the Sangat through all the celebrations of life.

The best way to ensure continuous, dependable funding is for you to make an ongoing monthly commitment.
