Gimme-Some-Sole Shoe Drive

This program helps hundreds of school age kids in our community. Each year Azad's Martial Arts Center spearheads a community-wide effort to help kids from low income families with much needed shoes and rainboots. The goal is to collect as many brand new shoes as we can for all kids specially those who come from families who aren't able to provide their children with basic needs. Azad's Martial Arts Center purchases and collects hundreds of pairs of shoes each year for children in our community so they can walk to school and home knowing their feet won't get wet and their health get compromised in winter season.

"The most exciting part of life is when we practice compassion and help others in need." Grandmaster. This is a great opportunity for you to teach your children the significant of giving back and practicing kindness. Just like a muscle in our body, the more we use compassion the more we create a powerful sense of kindness. Please join us in this annual drive to help children enjoy their education and school.

Azad's Martial Arts Center is celebrating its 30th annual Thanksgiving Basket Brigade this November 2021, with the exact date and time to follow. This event will help local families with a gift basket of complete Thanksgiving dinner. Each dinner basket provides meals for up to 15 people in the family.

Each year, Grandmaster Azad and his team of students help raise funds to purchase all that is needed for a great holiday meal (turkey, stuffing, mashed potato, pumpkin pie, etc) for over 200 local families. This program so far has assisted over 35,000 people in the Chico and Butte County area.

Tune in for updates on how you can be a part of this great tradition in Chico!
