Community cooking

Hasmukhbhai Patel

Hasmukhbhai guided KV’s Shala cooking teams and was recognized in 2015 for years of kitchen service. His contributions included planning menus, estimating supplies, buying groceries and preparing for early Sunday cooking at JCNC.

By March 2015, KV had completed five Shala cookouts under his guidance. His example reflects the practical care and steady commitment behind community cooking.

Hasmukhbhai holds an appreciation plaque recognizing his Shala kitchen service.
