A BEAUTIFUL DAY OF CELEBRATION!
We are so happy to share our 2024 Gala for SACH was a huge success! A big thank you to all who attended!
Our Gala for SACH brought together community leaders, supporters, and beneficiaries to celebrate India Home's commitment to empowering South Asian and Indo-Caribbean elders. Together, in an afternoon full of fun and festivities, we fundraised nearly $250,000 for the renovation of India Home's space, which will become the South Asian Community Home (SACH)! This state-of-the-art facility will centralize and expand the organization's life-affirming programs for South Asian elders. Check out the photos and video from the event

Our Mission
India Home is a non-profit organization dedicated to addressing the needs of and empowering the South Asian and Indo-Caribbean senior immigrant community in New York City through culturally competent services. At India Home’s centers, our seniors find community and resources through a diverse range of programs and activities. Our programs include congregate meals, creative aging programs, case management programs (e.g. assistance with citizenship, benefits access, service referrals, etc.), and educational talks on health, nutrition, financial safeguards and elder law.
What we do
At India Home’s centers, our seniors find community through a diverse range of
programs and activities, from educational talks on health and nutrition,
financial safeguards and elder law, to trips to museums and parks and
advocating for themselves at City Hall. Our seniors sing, do garba, take yoga
and art classes. They celebrate July 4th, Diwali, Eid and a host of other
festivals. They love dancing- whether it is to Bollywood music or traditional
folk songs. Our programs, which are run out of existing senior center
facilities and faith-based places, encourage active participation and social
interaction.

I am all the way from Bangladesh, I didn’t really have any friends. Now, I have people to talk to.

India Home makes it easier for members to face the pandemic through their various programs such as lunch packets 3 days a week for those seniors who need it most, and supplies of groceries, etc. when outside movement has been much restricted for seniors.

The pandemic itself is a tough time but I am not feeling as if anything negative is happening, as I’m really really busy participating in India Home activities. I’m even more busy than I was before!
Shamsun Nahar
Senior
The friendliness of all the people here is very important to me. It is something that I enjoy very much.
India Home is our second home. We eagerly await for Mondays and when we meet, it is joy, fun and learning.
When I came to this country I was lost and lonely…India Home brings smiles and happiness on our faces.
