Today i.e., October 16th marks the "World Food day " honouring the establishment of Food and Agriculture Organisation(FAO) of United Nation in 1945 with the primary objective to defeat hunger from this world. The organisation has the Motto " let there be bread ". On this occasion, various NGO's across the world conduct various food programs to highlight issue related to Food.
I came across a group by name " FOOD BANK- HYDERABAD" in a newspaper and was impressed by the work done by this team. The team objective is simple. Cook an extra plate of food for the needy in your home and we will pick it up from you and give it to the needy. The Group conducts this drive on every Sunday, where each volunteer collects the food across Hyderabad city and re-organize the collected food into a "food packet" and later on distribute the "food packets" to the needy across the city.
Upon on contacting them, they told me that I can give anything based on my convenience. So I decided to step in. I purchased 50 water bottles and 50 biscuit packets to feed the needy.
Mr.Narasimha ,a volunteer from Food bank came to my house and collected the items today.
I decided to do this on regular basis from now on, may be twice a month and help the needy. Hopefully atleast on Sunday we don't have anyone who is hungry in my city.
Cheers
