Feed Food, Seed Love

Vision: See Oneself in All and All in Oneself

Mission: Feed Food, Seed Love

We are a grassroots, volunteer-based organization. Our main objective is to help various small organizations involved each day in the noble deed of alleviating hunger in rural villages. In this journey, we also hope to uplift the lives in the areas we serve by providing needed support.

Arutkanji is a healthy, herbal porridge made of broken rice and spices. There are several individuals and small organizations (Sanmarga Sangams) who make the herbal porridge each day and distribute to many.

The main beneficiaries are :

• Elderly people who do not have the means to support themselves.
• Women and children who are affected by domestic violence. By alleviating their hunger we believe we can protect them from becoming a marginalized society.
• Patients and their relatives whom are treated in government hospitals.
• Migrant Workers

Through funds collected each month (mainly from the US donors), we help procure key ingredients for Arutkanji (rice, cumin, pepper, fenugreek, and lentils) in the wholesale market and distribute them. Due to Covid (unemployment and children out of school), the number of people needing food has increased multifold.

We also support the education and health needs of families in the areas where we serve.
