Khalsa Aid Canada

We provide humanitarian aid in crises & emergencies to people in need. Inspired by the Sikh principle 'Recognise the whole human race as one.'

[Khalsa Aid Canada @khalsaaidca]

The Metro Vancouver team, in collaboration with SFU SSA, invites you to a Fireside Chat with Ravi Singh moderated by Bhupinder Singh Hundal, News Director and Station Manager at Global BC.

Together, they’ll reflect on Khalsa Aid’s ongoing seva in Panjab one year after the devastating floods, and share stories from humanitarian missions around the world.

We’ll also be showcasing our local seva initiatives from our Community Farm to extreme weather response efforts.

We hope you’ll join us for meaningful conversation, refreshments and a chance to come together as a community.

In commemoration of Truth and Reconciliation.

Khalsa Aid Canada has answered the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s 94 calls to action by supporting Indigenous kids returning to school.

Back to school season is here! 🎒✨

We had the privilege of supporting Indigenous community at First line credit fellowship at Haggersville by providing backpacks, essential school supplies, and snacks to kick off the new school year with confidence.

Small acts of support make a big difference in building stronger communities. A huge thank you to everyone whose donations and dedication make this work possible! ❤️

Our Vancouver team traveled to Penticton to deliver urgent supplies—including clothing, eye drops, phone chargers, and hygiene kits—directly to families displaced by the ongoing wildfires.

Working alongside local organizers at Princess Margaret Secondary School, we are ensuring that every evacuee receives immediate, dignified support during this difficult time.

Every student deserves to start the school year feeling ready and supported.

The #GTA team came together to sort, pack, and drop off backpacks and school supplies for the youth at Peel Youth Shelter and Notre Dame School. A small gesture can make a massive difference in a student's confidence!

Supporting Migrant Farm Workers Evacuated by the Wildfires 🙏

As wildfires continue to impact the Okanagan region, 16 migrant farm workers were evacuated with little more than the clothes they were wearing, with some even being airlifted by helicopter for their safety. At the request of the Migrant Worker Centre, Khalsa Aid Kelowna provided backpacks to help evacuated farm workers carry and organize essential belongings during this difficult time.

We are grateful to the Migrant Worker Centre for reaching out and helping us understand the urgent needs of those affected. Our heartfelt thanks to our dedicated Khalsa Aid volunteers for making this sewa possible. During times of crisis, we stand together to support those who need it most. 🙏💛

🔥 Standing with Okanagan Farm Workers During the Wildfires 🙏

As wildfires continue to affect the Okanagan region, poor air quality and heavy wildfire smoke are creating difficult conditions for those working outdoors. At the request of the Migrant Worker Centre, Khalsa Aid Kelowna delivered N95 masks to farm workers across the Okanagan region, helping provide respiratory protection while they continue their essential work. Farm workers play a vital role in our communities and food supply, and we are grateful for their dedication, especially during challenging conditions.

During times of crisis, it is important that we stand together and ensure essential workers are not forgotten. We thank the Migrant Worker Centre for reaching out and helping us connect with those in need, and our dedicated Khalsa Aid volunteers for making this sewa possible. We will continue to support our community wherever help is needed. 🙏💛

Standing Together During the Wildfire Emergency 🤝

With wildfires continuing to affect communities across the region, Khalsa Aid Kelowna received a request from the Salvation Army West Kelowna and the Migrant Workers Society to support 16 individuals who had been evacuated. The urgent request included essential clothing and personal items such as socks, sweatpants, T-shirts, undergarments, sandals, and other necessities. Khalsa Aid Kelowna was honoured to respond and deliver the requested supplies to those affected.

A heartfelt thank you to Atlas Electrical Kelowna (https://t.co/E11BTJtAZG) for their generous donation and to the Salvation Army West Kelowna and Migrant Workers Society for reaching out and coordinating support for those displaced by the fires. We are also grateful to our dedicated volunteers who continue to step forward whenever our community needs help. 🙏💛

The Namaygoosisagagun First Nation (also known as Collins First Nation) is a remote community roughly 250 km north of Thunder Bay, with no road access. Last week a fast moving wildfire tore through it, and families fled by boat and vehicle as flames reached the trees beside their homes, escaping with little more than the clothes they were wearing.

@khalsaaidca volunteers met with this family, who’ve been provided with temporary accommodation in Thunder Bay.

Our team was able to supply them with groceries and other household items to help them set up their home.

This is what it looks like to recognize the whole human race as one. 🙏

From January to June this year, Team Victoria served warm meals to over 300 people every month at Our Place Society. 🧡

Dahl, curry, rice, roti, and hot pizza — all made and served by volunteers giving their time to fight food insecurity in our city.

Endless gratitude to our sevadars.

This is what seva looks like. 🙏

From FIFA's Volunteer HQ in Vancouver to farmworkers across BC — this is what a "surplus donation" can turn into!

FIFA & Dove had a surplus of deodorant meant for World Cup volunteers & staff. But thanks to a tip, Metro Vancouver volunteers were able to secure a pallet worth.

From our warehouse, 400 units went straight to our partner Migrant Workers Centre — reaching seasonal migrant farm workers across Kamloops, Creston, Grand Forks, Oliver & Penticton.

The team’s next delivered deodorant and food supplies to Northwest Harvest Church in Hope where the community is experiencing a huge uptick in families needing their services.

And finally to SACH, a community partner that provides wraparound services to those facing difficult times in Surrey, to support their outreach programs.

One donation. 7 communities in less than a week. That's what "Recognize the whole human race as one" looks like in motion.

A huge thank you to Preet from Teja Foods. This Seva would not have been possible without you.

The Metro Vancouver team had the honour of supporting B.C's first sober living house designed specifically for Panjabi men recovering from substance abuse & mental health challenges.

Vaapsi's approach is comprehensive & fosters long-term healing through a holistic method & is rooted in the principles of Sikhi. This supported living facility houses 10 men at a time providing wrap around services after detox utilizing the services of community partners.

To make the house feel like a home, volunteers dropped off furniture such as sofas, shelving units and office desks for staff.

This seva is only possible with the genorsoity of our donours.

Today marked the last day of this 3-month cycle of our Grocery Support Program for students. Through this initiative, nearly 70 students received essential grocery support on a bi-weekly basis.

A heartfelt thank you to all our donors and volunteers for your unwavering support, dedication, and seva throughout this program. Your kindness has made a meaningful difference in the lives of so many students and families.

Team Manitoba is already getting ready for the next seva event with Chardi Kala spirit and continued commitment to serving the community. 🙏

Every mother figure deserves to feel celebrated. 🌹

Our GTA team had the honor of visiting Centennial Park Place Senior Living, a long term care home, to share some love, cookies and roses for Mother’s Day. Seeing these smiles was the greatest gift of all.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible women who nurture and inspire us!

[Khalsa Aid Canada @khalsaaidca]

The Metro Vancouver team came together to prepare and deliver 40 gift baskets filled with pampering items & self-care essentials, and flowers for moms accessing the services of Sheway in Vancouver’s DTES.
