“If you can’t feed a hundred people, then feed just one."
There is a lot that happens around the world we cannot control. We cannot stop earthquakes, we cannot prevent droughts, and we cannot prevent all conflict, but when we know where HUNGER exist, then we can help by feeding them food with the help of FOOD BANK MUMBAI.

There are people in the world so hungry, that God cannot be present everywhere so he created disciples like us to do the needful.

SPECIAL THANKS TO Rakesh Pillai FOR BEING MY BACKBONE AND HELPING TO KICKSTART THIS BEAUTIFUL SERVICE.






How Does This Work?
Since the basic idea is to serve home cooked meals every week, some simple dish is made at homes. It could be a simple plain Dal Rice, Chapati, variety of rice, biscuits ( for the childrens ) poha, idlis, dosa, upma, vada pav, etc, anything you can prepare or buy it... 


This is packed in an easy to give containers ( aluminium foil, plastic containers ). The food is assemble in the locality of any spot and a small team takes this in a car, auto, bikes, cycles or by walk and is distributed to the homeless. The core team drives in and around the streets to make sure it reaches only the needy and the homeless. It pretty much takes about an hour or so if the destination and the target audience are clear.
What Can You Do?



1. Cook simple home cooked meals.
2. No stale leftovers please.
3. Pack it in neat containers.
4. Hand it over to your locality champion.
5. Join the team in the distribution.
#NOTE : We dont collect any MONEY !!
We need volunteers for Distribution, people who can prepare food or donate foods,
TODAY THE FIRST STEP WE TOOK IN FOOD BANK MUMBAI ....

Join our Foodbank Regular Food Drive this week, in and around MUMBAI

Our drive is to not just give out food packets from hotels or leftovers from homes. But, it’s to provide fresh home-cooked food to people who need it. Everyone deserves a meal that fills they stomach, and also makes them happy
