About
The Dharma Center of America (DCA) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization established in 2017 with a simple yet powerful mission: no one in our community should go hungry.
Guided by the ancient Hindu ethos of Nar Sewa Narayan Sewa — service to humanity is service to God — we bring together volunteers, professionals, and partner organizations across Greater Boston to uplift those in need.
We serve communities in Lowell, Burlington, Boston, and Cambridge, MA, providing food, education, and wellness services free of charge. DCA is a recognized 501(c)(3) organization (Tax ID: 81-4543604).
“Nutritious food is a basic right of all human beings. Along with providing nutritious food, children of the patrons should have access to tutoring so they can achieve educational success.”
— Dr. Suresh K. Jain, President, Dharma Center of America
