FOOD BANK SANGOLDA GOA , collects 60 tonnes or rather 60000 kgs of good Cooked extra factory food in the last 11 months from 9 factories at VernaIndustrial Estate.
This quantity would have been 70 tonnes in 11 months had not one factory of this 9 supported us fully.
Factories & Boilers dept headed by Chief Inspector of Factories Mr Anant Pangam is the one of the main architects, in implementing this massive food Collection reaching our food bank rather reaching the dumps as waste.
Sir Sanjit Rodrigues, IAS, Secretary of Factories and Boilers has been the motivation Factor who has supported and given his full attention in getting this project up & running.
Daily, 6 days a week our food bank truck visits 9 Factories in the Verna Industrial Estate between 2.30pm to 4pm collecting warm freshly cooked canteen food which the staff of these 9 factories were not able to consume.
We collect this food in food grade plastic reusable containers and feed the poor in Vasco city rather under the Baina flyover and some food goes to our night meal in our men's shelter homes both in North & South Goa.
It's a operation which runs on precise time management as well as a near fool proof hygiene system with no chance to having any food contamination.
We thank these 9 companies ( or rather 8 companies of late ) for giving away their extra cooked food for a worthy cause.
From April 25 , Sir Sanjit Rodrigues has set a target of 15 companies and 100 tones a year to be given to the food bank resulting in 100 tonnes of wet waste being reduced directly.
