Hunger is one of humanity’s most urgent challenges — affecting millions of people across the globe every single day. From the homeless on the streets of American cities to families in India struggling to afford a daily meal, the need for food and compassion knows no borders.
In response, Care and Love Foundation has launched the Food and Grocery Distribution Project, a heartfelt global initiative that provides freshly cooked meals and essential grocery kits to underprivileged individuals and families in both India and the USA.
With a total project budget of $40,000, the initiative embodies the Foundation’s belief that no one should go hungry — that food is not just nourishment, but a universal expression of care, dignity, and humanity.
1. Freshly Cooked Meal Distribution (India & USA)
To ensure immediate hunger relief, Care and Love Foundation provides freshly prepared, wholesome meals to people living on the streets, in temporary shelters, and in impoverished communities.
- In the USA:
Bread, chicken, chips packets, bottled water, and fresh fruits and vegetables are distributed to homeless and unsheltered individuals across various city locations. - In India:
Cooked meals consisting of rice, chapati, chicken curry, chips, fruits, and bottled water are served to underprivileged families, slum residents, and abandoned elderly individuals. - Average Cost per Meal: $5
Total Allocation: $20,000
Target: 4,000 meals reaching 4,000 beneficiaries
These meals not only fill empty stomachs but also restore hope and dignity for those who often go unnoticed.
2. Grocery & Nutrition Kit Distribution (India & USA)
To ensure food security over a longer period, the project distributes nutrition-focused grocery kits to struggling families and individuals without stable income.
Each kit includes rice, lentils, oil, salt, sugar, and basic cooking essentials, allowing recipients to prepare nutritious meals for several days.
- Beneficiaries: Low-income families, widows, daily wage workers, and elderly people.
- Average Cost per Kit: $20
- Total Allocation: $20,000
- Target: 1,000 grocery kits reaching 1,000 families (~4,000 individuals)
This component ensures consistent nourishment and relieves the economic burden of food insecurity for vulnerable households.
