FOOD BANK SANGOLDA GOA collects 34 tonnes of edible food last 6 months from 9 factories in Verna Industrial Estate ie April 24 to Sept 24.

For this same 6 months period our overall total food collection was close to 40 tonnes.

I am repeating all Verna Industrial Estate factories are throwing out close to 3000 kgs on a daily basis good Cooked extra canteen food.

Food bank Sangolda on a daily basis is just collecting on a average 250 kgs to 300 kgs from these 9 factories.

Ultimately the extra food reaches the recycling plants instead of reaching the poor and hungry.

If we are to reduce the wet waste, Government of Goa should encourage & support,  by instructoring all Factories across GOA , to give away excess good canteen food to Food Bank Sangolda as we are the only food bank collecting food on a daily basis and feeding the poor and hungry.

All this 40 tonnes of food is collected in Food grade recyclable containers.

And in this manner we are not only reducing the wet waste but also avoiding the use of plastic bags.

Running food banks requires volunteers, feeders & most important TIME MANAGEMENT as food can't be stored but has to be moved out to the poor through feeders.

The credit for collecting these 34 tonnes of cooked food from Verna Industrial Estate goes to :

We thank the management of these 9 companies @ Verna Industrial Estate namely 

Our Food bank has a dedicated food bank truck which is fully refrigerated with the temperature going down to minus 2 degrees and we take utmost care with high level of cleanliness.

If there are other factories In Verna Industrial Estate who would like to donate their excess cooked food for the poor and hungry , then please get in touch with Mr Anant Pangam.

All communications strictly through whatsapp messages only on 8380097564.
