Looking Back: Monthly Free Lunches at Grace United Church in Brampton

Before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, Karan Devgan helped provide free lunches on a monthly basis at Grace United Church in downtown Brampton. Looking back on those lunches is a reminder that community service can begin with something as simple as sharing a meal.
A monthly commitment in downtown Brampton
The lunches brought a regular act of service into the heart of the city. By helping provide a meal at no cost, Karan and those working alongside him contributed to a community effort centred on food and care for others.
This work was part of Karan's involvement in Brampton beyond business: making time to contribute locally and helping meet an everyday need.

The initiative took place both before and during the pandemic, a period that brought uncertainty and disruption to daily life. Remembering that work means recognising the value of local efforts to support people through difficult times.
A free lunch is a practical contribution. It also offers a simple expression of neighbourly care: taking the time to do something for the people who share your city.
Remembering the work, carrying the spirit forward
The monthly lunches at Grace United Church remain part of Karan's community story in Brampton. They reflect an approach to service built around showing up and contributing alongside others.
