We provide daily meals to thousands of hungry men, women, and children across Calcutta. Every $1 invested yields 4 meals, with current production totals at 60,000 meals each week.

We believe solving hunger provides the foundation for progress in other areas of development, including education and medical care. Here is the impact we’ve made since our initial food project in 1965.
