ORANGE, CALIF. (PRWEB) Sep 17, 2025
Shah Happiness Foundation announced its support for the dedication of RecycleForce’s new permanent home, honoring the lives of Mrs. Gunvanti Shah and Mr. Bhogilal Shah, whose values of service, dignity of work, and commitment to uplifting others continue to inspire community impact.
The new facility marks a significant milestone in strengthening RecycleForce’s mission to support individuals returning from incarceration through employment, skill-building, and community reintegration. By providing stable employment opportunities and wraparound support services, RecycleForce helps individuals build pathways to self-sufficiency and purpose.
Mrs. Gunvanti Shah and Mr. Bhogilal Shah moved to the United States later in life to be close to their children and grandchildren, living between Indianapolis and California. While their home changed, their values remained constant, deeply rooted in service, resilience, and the belief that meaningful work restores dignity. These principles are reflected in RecycleForce’s work and the lives it impacts.
“This work supporting individuals returning home after incarceration is complex and deeply connected to broader challenges of poverty and inequality,” said Gregg Keesling, President of RecycleForce. “At a time when communities are rethinking how to serve those left behind, the support of the Shah Happiness Foundation is both meaningful and timely. Their belief in second chances strengthens our ability to continue this critical work.”
The dedication was made possible by Manu Shah, Chief Giving Officer, Shah Happiness Foundation, and Rika Shah, whose philanthropic efforts reflect a long standing commitment to advancing opportunity, dignity, and long term impact for underserved individuals and communities.
Shah Happiness Foundation is committed to strengthening the health, education, and well-being of communities where we live and work. Through strategic philanthropic partnerships, the Foundation supports initiatives that create sustainable, long-term impact in workforce development, community resilience, and social inclusion.
