As India slips to 107 th place out of 121 countries in global hunger index, food becomes a very important resource, especially in developing countries like ours. The cities that battle poverty and starvation, community run-kitchens are one of the best ways to fight hunger.

To fulfil Srila Prabhupada’s order of not letting any human being go empty stomach within a 10-mile radius of the HKM center, we inaugurated a centralized community kitchen in Byculla capable of feeding 20,000 people every day. Akshaya Chaitanya, a “giveassured” NGO in Mumbai by giveIndia, is a trusted NGO for food donation that has a fully automated kitchen to ensure the quality of food
being prepared and distributed is never compromised.

For food donation in Mumbai, we are running three feeding initiatives – Swasthya Ahara, Bal Shiksha Ahara, and Paushtik Ahara.

The Akshaya Chaitanya kitchen prepares hot and hygiene food to 10,000+ meals every single day.
We believe that if one cannot feed a hundred people, you must feed one. The plight of hungry stomach is never understood unless you go without food to do your daily chores. Empathy and Compassion are required to feel the pain of our beneficiaries to support our NGO for food donation in Mumbai.

In order for every non-profit organization to achieve the next level of social change and
transformational impact, we need to consistently monitor, improve and expand our efforts. Our
most important values are honesty and transparent processes which enables us to host visits from
our donors and corporate partners for their valuable opinion, feedback and support that will allow
us to become one of the top 10 NGO in India.

We courteously invite you to visit our fully automated centralized community kitchen in Mumbai to
experience the sheer driving force of our Akshaya Chaitanya team to make Mumbai a hunger-free
city.

My family joined a food donation drive at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Hospital, Kalwa. It was a wonderful experience. The volunteers were supportive, the arrangements were excellent, and serving those in need brought joy to all of us. I encourage everyone to support this noble cause.
