Pondicheri in New York's monthly Community Breakfast program will be donating proceeds to SAKHI for South Asian Women, an organization dedicated to helping domestic violence survivors. Every second Friday from 8 a.m. to noon, Pondicheri donates half the proceeds earned during breakfast service to different community organizations.
