FOOD BANK FOR THE POOR, SANGOLDA has many programs of feeding the poor in Goa & one such program is through Dry Ration.
For over 2 full years we have been catering to 30+ poor Goan families across the 7 villages of Canacona Taluka.
Attached a 3 minutes video 👇
One such volunteer , Mrs Sharon has taken up this task with total commitment & responsibility.
Most of these families are :
☆ Old aged ladies
☆ Poor families
☆ Families with children suffering from disabilities
☆ Widow ladies
☆ Men who just stay alone no family
Few years back I had visited a couple of them and what I saw was beyond my thinking and understanding.
Poverty at its worst coupled with old aged and being unwanted by own children .
Too much sickness in some families .
Had tears in my eyes.
A couple of these families just survive the entire month on the Government dole as and when it gets credited in the account.
This dry ration kit is a blessings to them.
Mrs Sharon & her family have been helping alot of such poor families month after month, year and after year, by packing and organizing the drop to their homes.
The current need of the hour is providing cooked food from some hotel or factory .
Save Food , Feed Food, initiative which is suppose to be run by FSSAI BAMBOLIM will actually help kill the hunger of thousands of such poor families across Goa .
But all are sleeping and when awoken only give press statements, releases, bytes etc.
People are suffering for want for food in rural Goa and enough of food is daily being wasted in Goa with FSSAI BAMBOLIM showing no concern to bridge this gap .
Our Food bank was started over 5 years ago looking at the angle of food being wasted and how to feed those who are hungry .
If you support my dream of feeding the poor, old and hungry in rural Goa then please come forward and help us in whatever way you can .
We require your prayers , blessings, wishes and donations to wipe those tears from these poor old rural villagers who at times might not be getting even one meal a day.
FSSAI BAMBOLIM please awake up and Walk the Talk and get the poor food to eat which is otherwise thrown out daily.
God bless you so much
