Description

On the occasion of World Food Day, the Rotaract Club of Jyoti Nivas College, in collaboration with the Rotaract Club of Madras, organized a meaningful food donation initiative. Together, we donated 10 food packets to individuals in need, each packet containing a delicious masala dosa, a packet of biscuits, and a water bottle. This effort took place from 11:30 AM to 12:30 PM, with the total cost of the food amounting to approximately 750 rupees. The project aimed to alleviate hunger by providing nutritious meals to individuals and families facing food insecurity, highlighting our commitment to community service. The food was distributed to families residing in the slums of Koramangala 5th Block—a community grappling with financial difficulties and in desperate need of support. Many of these families struggle to provide adequate nutrition for their children, who often face malnourishment. By donating these food packets, we aimed to make a small yet significant impact on their lives, reminding them that they are not alone in their struggles. For the volunteers involved, this initiative served as an eye-opening experience, offering firsthand insight into the challenges faced by marginalized communities. Helping these families was a heartwarming moment for everyone present, reinforcing the importance of compassion and solidarity. Food donation fosters a sense of community and compassion, bringing people together to support their neighbors and strengthen social bonds. By taking part in this initiative, we not only provided essential nourishment to those in need but also contributed to a culture of empathy and understanding within our community. The event underscored the collective responsibility we share in addressing hunger and promoting social welfare, motivating us to continue our efforts to uplift those facing food insecurity.
