At the Rajyash Foundation, we believe that no one should face the hardship of going to bed hungry. We are dedicated to ensuring that everyone has access to proper nourishment and support. Our solution to Ahmedabad's two biggest problems—food waste and hunger—is our Food Porter program that came into action in 2023. We’re not only providing meals for those in need but also creating sustainable opportunities for local rickshaw and tempo drivers, helping them thrive while serving the community.

This initiative's core is our network of committed volunteers. They put forth a lot of effort to plan food collection, make sure it is transported and stored properly, and provide the food to people who need it the most. They feed around two hundred people every day, and their dedication and compassion makes what could be a logistical nightmare go smoothly.

We set out on a bold aim to plant a minimum of 1000 trees throughout Ahmedabad each monsoon. To find the best spots for our plantation drives, we work with a variety of academic institutions and nonprofit groups. Our group of committed volunteers puts forth endless effort to guarantee that every sapling is planted with caution and has the best opportunity to flourish.

However, Food Porter is not only a program for distributing food. This is a community-based program designed to increase awareness of hunger and food waste. Families, event planners, and restaurant owners are among the people we engage directly with to help them realise the value of their food donation. This encourages more conscientious eating habits in addition to guaranteeing a consistent supply of food. For many people, our frequent meal deliveries at these sites have become essentials.

In addition, we run street feeding initiatives to help the homeless and daily wage workers who frequently go without food.
Food safety is our first priority in all that we do. To guarantee that all of the food we offer is safe to eat, we adhere to stringent policies for food collection, storage, and distribution. We maintain stringent quality controls throughout our process, and our volunteers receive frequent training on food safety procedures.

Food Porter’s influence extends beyond its meal delivery services. It serves as a reminder that they are not forgotten by society and a source of hope for many individuals. For our contributors and volunteers, it’s a chance to positively impact someone’s life in a concrete way.

We want to increase Food Porter’s influence and reach going forward. We are actively seeking to partner with additional restaurants and institutions that are interested in collaborating with us.

There is a place for you in the Food Porter program, whether your skills are in excess food donation, time volunteering, or cash support.
