Shrimad Rajchandra Distribution of Essential Aids for Respite (DEAR) is a program that distributes essential items to the 23 million homeless in India.

In addition, before the chilly winter sets in, we distribute blankets and specifically designed cold weather kits consisting of head-gear, foot-creams, and other protective gears.
