We started the Chennai chapter's operations with two food vans supported by Honourable ma'am P. Amudha I.A.S., on February 2nd 2018. We operate 18 hours per day around the year. We continue to operate in spite of all odds we face. No pandemics or calamities can stop us from feeding the needy.

Our vision is to bring a social change to every individual in order to reduce food waste and to make the World Hunger-Free. We work in alignment with United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
