Hunger Hero Program

Our Free Food & Mid-Day Meals Program. Contribute to one of India’s leading Charities to help our pioneering & pain-staking endeavor to ensure that no poor or under-privileged child goes hungry in India. They are our future and yours.

OUR HUNGER AND NUTRITION PROGRAM

Youngistaan serves the needs of people suffering with hunger and starvation through a two-step program: by cooking hygienic and home-made meals for the poor and distributing the meals to the homeless, and by collecting extra food from restaurants, hotels, weddings and other ceremonies (reducing food wastage) and distributing them to the homeless and other people in need. 

The Hunger and Nutrition program strives to improve the dietary conditions of those in dire need for food, and works with existing government agencies and civilian services to save excess food and convert it to a food supply for the poor.

COOKING MEALS 

Every weekend, we purchase fresh staple foods and gather together to cook nutritious meals which are then neatly packaged. Take a look at the streets of Ludhiana on a Sunday morning, and you will see Youngistaan volunteers getting on their bikes ready to deliver freshly packaged food parcels to the homeless and others in need. 

DISTRIBUTING MEALS 

During the weekdays, we approach restaurants and other eateries with whom we have partnered with as restaurant-partners to reduce food wastage. Youngistaan volunteers collect excess food which is then packed and distributed in the evenings to people living on the streets and others in need.
