Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!
We are standing at a historic crossroads for our community, and we need your collective strength to cross the finish line.
To date, we have raised $187,138 toward our $600,000 goal. While we are incredibly grateful to our 278 donors, the clock is ticking, and the stakes could not be higher.
The October Deadline: Use It or Lose It
The State of California has awarded us a landmark $6 million grant to build the first-ever permanent, free Punjabi-Sikh mental health and community center. However, this funding comes with a strict condition: we must raise a 10% community match ($600,000) by October.
If we do not hit our $600,000 target by October, the $6 million grant will be entirely rescinded and returned to the State of California. We cannot let this generation-defining opportunity slip away.
A Permanent Sanctuary for Generations
This is not just a short-term project; it is a $6 million infrastructure building that will remain an asset in our community forever. It will serve as a permanent sanctuary for healing, growth, and empowerment.
While the center will continue to host vital pillars like education, senior programs, and women's clubs, our core expansion will directly target the most urgent crises facing our Sangat:
Culturally Competent Mental Health Therapy: Breaking the stigma with professional care delivered in our own language and rooted in our lived experiences.
Substance & Alcohol Abuse Recovery Support: Fresno holds one of the largest Punjabi populations in California, yet our families have gone decades without dedicated, culturally sensitive addiction recovery resources. This center changes that.
Outpatient & Crisis Support: Establishing a critical safety net that our community has desperately needed for years.
How to Help Us Secure the Match
We have identified the land, secured the architectural and engineering teams, and won the state's backing. Now, the final step rests with us.
Donate Today: Every dollar you give directly unlocks $10 of state funding.
Spread the Word: Share this update with your friends, family, chacha ji, mami ji, and neighbors.
This is seva that will outlive us all. Let's build a safe space where our community can heal with dignity.
With gratitude and determination,
The Khalsa Community Center Team
