THE BACKGROUND

Food is the most basic requirement for all of us. Getting a square meal should not be a reason for distress for any individual. There are thousands of families for whom getting food is a luxury. At Ehsaas (we are a Lucknow based NGO) we strongly believe that each city should have one or many food banks that ensure no one needs to beg on the streets for food. 

The UP Food Bank is based at Lucknow. The FOOD BANK works as a bridge between the community and the contributor and not just ensures the distribution of ration but also ensures that it reaches the right beneficiaries. The FOOD BANK acts as a support system to the underprivileged, who struggle to provide their families with the bare minimum. It eliminates hunger and transforms lives.

HOW THE FOOD BANK WORKS

The Food Bank is on a mission to serve the most marginalized sections of the society by making food accessible to them so that they can realize other goals of healthy living, education and safety. We aim to create a support system for those families that struggle every day to make ends meet yet at the end of the day the food that they eat does not provide them the essential nutrition. 

THIS IS HOW FOOD CHANGES LIVES

The Food Bank works with communities' to identify such families and support them partially so that they can lead a healthy life and invest in their upliftment. This initiative empowers individuals by providing support in crisis, linking them with government programs and schemes. Each family that we support becomes a Food Bank Card holder. The beneficiaries are identified through civil society partners and community mobilizers who also monitor the families and support them regularly.






THE KIT


A STORY OF TRANSFORMATION


ABOUT ME


My name is Deepti Mehrotra. I am a Social Entrepreneur.

Food is a basic necessity of life. It is so disheartening to know that there are so many people out there who do not have access to food on a daily basis. They fear starvation. A lot of families are unable to send their children to school or are unable to provide proper care for the elderly as they have to spend a large portion of their income on food.

It is great to know that Food Bank is on a mission to end hunger by providing each of their cardholders with ration kits on a monthly basis. The cardholders are primarily senior citizens, children below 17, women who are divorced or abandoned etc.

It costs just INR 20 to feed a family per day. So just INR 600 will support them for a month.

We, the more privileged sections of the society need to step up to support them. I request all of you to support my campaign so that we can also contribute to their well-being in our own small little way. Let's come together and do our bit to help our fellow countrymen.

TAX BENEFITS

Funding for this campaign is eligible for tax breaks as EHSAAS is a registered NGO & you can avail of benefits under section 80G of IT act.  Foreign funding is NOT accepted.




FEEDBACK THAT YOU GET 

To ensure that there is complete transparency a report from EHSAAS ( this takes between 1 to 2 months usually after the funds are raised & transferred) about who benefitted from the funding will be updated. The details will then be posted on the UPDATES section of my campaign and will be in a format like the one below. As soon as the update is posted, the platform will send an EMAIL alert to all the funders - i.e to you. Click on the link on the email and you can read about which child benefitted. That's transparent right?



FAQs

Will we get to know the details of who benefitted?

Yes. After the money has been collected it will be transferred by Fueladream to EHSAAS FOUNDATION. We will update you on the details of the beneficiaries as soon as possible. Once we get this information we shall upload a report on the UPDATES section of this campaign. You will then get an alert & can read details about the beneficiaries.

When do I get the receipts?

The receipts will start getting processed about 4 to 6 weeks AFTER the campaign is closed and will be sent to you directly.

How does crowdfunding work?

Crowdfunding in India is a relatively new concept & is growing very quickly.

It’s a concept that allows a large number of funders (like you) to fund an idea or a cause or event by giving small amounts of money online. Fueladream.com is a crowdfunding platform in India that allows for such pooling of funds. You can fund innovations & ideas on FuelADream and be the first to get these products or make them come true. You can also do a good turn by funding charities and causes through crowdfunding. When you fund a charity it’s more like a donation & you get small innovative rewards like a shout-out on an FB page or a thank you email from the beneficiaries.

Updates have been committed to after the campaign ends.
This is an open forum for all funders of this campaign.
Other registered users can send their comments/ queries directly to the campaign owner as a message.
