Sewa-Aifw

In-person health clinics were one of SEWA-AIFW's biggest programs pre-pandemic. Now that much of our community has received vaccinations, we are beginning in-person clinics again (with COVID19 safety measures in place). Health clinics at the Bloomington Gurdwara take place on the 2nd Sunday of each month.
