FOOD BANK FOR THE POOR, SANGOLDA, GOA partners with SSVP ( Society of St Vincent de Paul ) St Diogo Church , Guirim , Bardez , Goa to  feed simple breakfast to poor Goans in our village of Guirim – Sangolda . 

In May 2017 the 1st Food Freezer was inaugurated at Chogm road , Sangolda , and  SSVP members & the villagers of Guirim – Sangolda were part of this program as our volunteers. 

For a year onwards, Free food was served at night in the church at Guirim and many poor Goan families gratefullt accepted. 

However  by April 2020 as the Covid Pandemic raged across the world, Hotels,  eateries etc were shut and many  of our 38 Food Freezers across Goa had to stop the service. 

1.12.2020

Dedicated Volunteers of SSVP – Mrs Aura & her husband Mr Lawrence started feeding breakfast at ARRADI GUIRIM . But the 2nd COVID wave forced  them to discontinue the service  in May 2021. 

Not one to give up easily, in October 2021 , they restarted this Food Freezer motivating  more SSVP members to join in, thus reaching out to more hungry people who needed an extra meal . 

ONE YEAR LATER  on 2.12.2021,  we inaugurated and blessed the SECOND Food Freezer  at ST ANTHONY VADDO, GUIRIM , at the residence of Mrs Fatima, mother of  Fr Valerian , a Capucian priest based in South Goa . 

3.12.3021 is the  Feast of St Francis Xavier (Goemcho Saib!) 

☆ 4.12.2021- TODAY we  inaugurate and bless the THIRD Food Freezer at LIVRAMENT VADDO , SANGOLDA at the residence of Mr. Constancio & Mrs Belinda . 

FOURTH Food Freezer is always running since inception in May 2017. 

♡♡ Thanks to Fr Anand , Parish Priest of St Diogo Church , Guirim for blessings these Food Freezers. 

St. Diogo Parish comprises of  2  villages i.e. Sangolda & Guirim with a total of 18 Vaddos under this Parish 

Free food will be served as follows:- 

In addition, food deposited in the Freezers will also be distributed to the 47 families identified and helped by SSVP over the years, with an average of 4 members per family, 

Food Bank is reaching out to approximately 200 people through these 3 Food Freezers in Guirim/Sangolda. 

We @ the Food Bank are providing :

FREEZERS &  FOOD 

SSVP as a partner helps through :

VOLUNTEERS who install Freezers in their homes and bear the cost of the electricity bill  &

VOLUNTEERS  who heat up the food before distributing  at their own cost. 

CHRISTMAS ( Birth Of Christ) is round the corner and feeding the less fortunate is an excellent way to honour CHRIST. 

During the last  2 years,  we as  an NGO have  focused more on rescue and rehabilitation . 

However now we plan to re start the 34 food bank fridges ( 4 are already running) 

Please note –  Volunteers who do not wish to continue, may please return our Food Freezers back to us . 

Incase any Organisation ( with prior experience and with established track record ) wishes to partner with us to feed the hungry in villages ONLY , please get in touch with me on whatsapp on 8380097564.
