The Crisis: Why Food Distribution Matters

During the COVID-19 lockdown, thousands of Kolkata families lost their livelihoods overnight. With no income, food insecurity soared. Nabatara Foundation responded by launching a massive meal distribution campaign, reaching slums and underserved communities citywide.

The Mukherjee Family: A Story of Resilience

The Mukherjees, a family of five, lost their only source of income during the lockdown. Nabatara’s volunteers delivered regular meal kits, ensuring the children stayed healthy and hopeful. For the Mukherjees, this support was a lifeline that helped them weather the storm.

Our Approach: Community-Driven Relief

Nabatara Foundation partnered with local businesses, donors, and volunteers to maximize reach. The program prioritized nutritious, locally sourced food and tailored meal kits for children and seniors. Over 1.2 million meals have been served to date.

Impact: More Than Just Numbers

Beyond numbers, the program has rebuilt trust, dignity, and community bonds. Families no longer worry about where their next meal will come from. Children can focus on learning, not hunger.

Sustainability: Building a Hunger-Free Future

Nabatara’s goal is not just emergency relief, but long-term food security. The foundation is now piloting nutrition education workshops and supporting urban farming initiatives to empower families to grow their own food.
