The Swaminarayan philosophy insists on pure, simple living and high thinking, which inspires people to put service to society, before themselves. Shree Swaminarayan Temple New Jersey holds numerous medical events and campaigns throughout the year to provide service to the community and help others. One of these events is the annual Medical Camp.
This year, Shree Swaminarayan Temple New Jersey held its Medical Camp on Sunday, December 2nd, 2012. Community doctors, nurses, volunteers, and temple disciples worked together to provide other disciples and community members with free physical, dental, vision, and EKG checkups as well as blood work at no cost. The doctors, nurses, and temples who had volunteered their services and time for this event served over 200 patients during the day. A blood drive was also held at the temple. A New Jersey Blood Services truck had come to the temple to accept donations.
