ISKCON is working for ''May All Live Happily'' and is always taking new steps for that. From time to time we see the impact stories from ground by our feedback forms.one of these story is shared in this report.
ISKCON’s largest kitchen was in New Delhi, the nation’s capital, which prepared 250,000 meals daily. It’s eco-friendly technology, including the use of 300 battery-operated, GPS tagged shuttle cars, helped to ensure timely delivery. In Kerala, India ISKCON was feeding nearly 700 police officers on a daily basis. Generous donations, like those provided by cricket celebrity Sourav Ganguly, who later tweeted “Thank u ISKCON .. keep serving the society”
In addition to these meals, ISKCON was providing supplies such as face masks and sanitizers via food-relief centers.
The Delhi government nominated ISKCON as a “Mother NGO” for this period, and ISKCON coordinated alongside the government and other district NGOs to assist the food relief efforts in the state. These food-relief activities have been supported by the federal and state governments in India and have drawn appreciation.
In other parts of the world, where lockdown is still ongoing, like the United Kingdom, the Hare Krishna Food For All program has been feeding 5,500 people in London, daily.
In Orlando, Florida the Veda Foundation has been distributing food to their local hospitals, and first responders including police departments, and fire departments. Sheriff Micheal Chitwood of Volusia County wrote “The Indian chow mein, fried rice and pizza were very good. But the cupcakes were exceptional!” Veda Foundation has distributed more than 15,000 meals to date at a rate of 250 meals a day.
In Gainesville Florida, USA Krishna Lunch is distributing 100 meals a day to local healthcare workers.
ISKCON New York has been distributing food to healthcare workers and teaming up with other community distribution centers.
Many other ISKCON communities around the globe are also distributing food, although in smaller quantities.
