Serving hot meals to the hungry and needy.

📜 About the Charity

At APMT Foundation, we believe that no one should ever go to bed hungry. Inspired by the compassionate teachings of Shirdi Saibaba, our Annadaan with Saibaba’s Blessings initiative is dedicated to feeding the hungry, the homeless, and the forgotten sections of society. Whether it’s a poor family struggling to afford their next meal, elderly individuals without support, or children working in harsh conditions instead of going to school — this initiative is our humble attempt to bring dignity, comfort, and care through food.

Annadaan (the donation of food) is regarded in Indian tradition as the greatest form of service. It transcends caste, creed, and religion, and touches the very core of humanity — compassion. Our goal is simple yet impactful: serve fresh, wholesome, satvik meals to those in need, and make sure that no plate remains empty where we serve.

⚠️ Challenges

The sad reality of hunger in our society is that it often hides in plain sight:

Widespread Hunger & Malnutrition: Many live below the poverty line and can’t afford even one proper meal a day.
Rising Food Costs: Inflation and job losses make it harder for daily wage earners and slum dwellers to buy food.
Neglected Elderly & Orphans: Elderly people living alone and orphaned children often have no one to care for them or provide meals.
Food Wastage: Ironically, while some go hungry, enormous amounts of food are wasted daily at events and restaurants.
Lack of Regularity: Many food donation efforts are irregular or limited to festivals or events, leaving people without consistent support.

✅ How We Are Solving This Problem

With Saibaba’s Blessings, we have designed this service to go beyond just food donation — we build a connection with the people we serve, ensuring they are seen, heard, and nourished:

Regular Meal Drives: We organize weekly and monthly Annadaan events in slums, near temples, railway stations, and underserved areas, offering fresh khichdi, vegetables, fruits, and water.
Special Festival Feeds: During festivals, we serve special meals to bring joy and celebration to those left out of traditional celebrations.
Collaborations with Local Kitchens: We partner with community kitchens and volunteers to prepare hygienic, nutritious meals.
Food Collection & Redistribution: We also collect surplus food from events, weddings, and restaurants and redistribute it with proper safety checks.
Nutrition First: All our meals are vegetarian, satvik, and balanced — promoting physical and mental wellbeing.

We are not just feeding stomachs, we are feeding hope, dignity, and humanity.
