Dilen
SoCal Chapter President
My names Dilen Patel, and I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. Starting from a young age, my parents and I were very engaged in helping out others whenever we had the chance because we love to give back to the community, since we’re so blessed. I’ve always told people from a young age that I thrive off others’ happiness, which is exactly why I do what I do. You may be wondering…what is it that I do? Frequently, my family goes out to buy a variety of meals, and we’ll drive down to nearby food shelters in order to donate. Overall, my mission in life is to make a difference in this world, and I think that what I do positively impacts many people worldwide.
