Food Rescue

Food Rescue is an team which collects fresh leftovers from various eateries. Not only do we save food but save children’s life!!

THE IDEAThe BIG BANG IDEA was

to collect the excess food

from various eateries

across the city and

distribute this food to

people who were unable

to afford even one meal

per day.

PLAN IN ACTION WE approached leading eateries and convinced them to give us their EXCESS food

items.

After a few positive responses we decided to liaison with Orphanages and other

NGO’S .

WE created an infrastructure for execution of food collection and distribution.

Speedbumps 30 restaurants

approached.

15 refused

5 that agreed

withdrew halfway

Way Forward 10 restaurants responded

positively.

Daily food collected- 40cupcakes, 35 loaves of bread, 30 savory items, 20pieces of sandesh, 1 crate of noodles, 1 crate of sweets.

250 children and adults fed DAILY !!
