HAMPSHIRE’S Sikh community will be opening their hearts to hundreds of people by dishing out free meals.
Members of the faith will be reaching out to residents in Southampton next week by distributing vegetarian curry to shoppers and people on their way home from work.
The huge operation is part of an international drive where Sikhs worldwide tackle world hunger and fostering unity between communities.
The Langar Week celebrations are based on the faith’s ancient Langar system nurturing equality by encouraging people of all backgrounds to share food together, regardless of faith, gender, age or status.
The system was launched by the first Sikh Guru Nanak and also marks his birthday.
