On this auspicious day, let’s earn blessings and Punya (good karma) of the highest caliber by donating food to the poor people, those who cannot afford even 1 time’s meal and help them achieve good health and education.

This Ganesh Chaturthi, we aim to serve 40,000 vulnerable family members & underprivileged children in the Government Hospitals & Municipal Schools of Mumbai by raising Rs. 10 Lakh.

Importance of Food Donation on Ganesh Chaturthi?


Charity is considered as the highest act of kindness & good karma according to the Hindu tradition. On several auspicious days, like these 10 days when Ganpati visits us home, donating food to the poor is considered of the highest regard. We seek Bappa’s blessings on this day by doing good deeds and helping others in need. And we urge you to help us in this journey of solving hunger issues in Mumbai and helping the needy to get access to the most basic things in life - education and health. Let this be a festival of inclusion & celebrations for one & all.
