Jain Alert Group Paryushan Tiffin Service
Pranam!
Once again this year, Jain Alert Group of Michigan is planning to provide tiffins during all 8 days of Paryushan! Due to logistical limitations, we will only be able to provide tiffins to those living/working in Ann Arbor and Dearborn. If you would like tiffins on any of the 8 days, please sign up on the form below. A few guidelines to keep in mind:
1. We will be dropping tiffins off to a central location near you, not necessarily directly to you. This means that you might have to pick up your tiffin from somewhere other than your apartment.
2. If you fail to pick up your tiffin on any given day, we will cancel your tiffin for all remaining days. Leaving food overnight makes it vaasi and we cannot allow that especially during Paryushan.
3. If you feel you won't be able to pick up on a specific day even though you signed up, let us know latest by the night before.
4. If you have any other restrictions, please let us know and we will try to accommodate them.
5. By filling out this form, you are committing to being responsive to messages and questions. If you sign up but do not reply to our messages of confirmation, we will cancel your order.
Registration: https://forms.gle/R7o7sPFfZMYhD6a17
Please spread this message to any students or young professionals you know who live in Ann Arbor or Dearborn!
