About us
Motivated by a heartwrenching encounter, Devdoot Food Bank abides by the principles of dignity and compassion in their mission to eliminate hunger.
That’s a heartwarming story of how Devdoot Food Bank came into existence!
The Birth of Devdoot Food Bank
As I (Pankaj Gupta) stood outside my shop, I witnessed a disturbing scene – children eating rotten fruits from a dumping yard. This sight shook me to my core. I shared my concerns with my brother Mr. Vipin Gupta, and we decided to take action. On April 14, 2018, we started Devdoot Food Bank, providing nutritious food to the needy.
A Humble Beginning
We began by serving delicious meals, including dal rice, rajma roti, and chole bhature, along with fruits and sweets. The joy of serving and receiving blessings from the people fueled our passion. We expanded our services, involving friends and seeking help from capable individuals.
A Community Kitchen
People started seeing our initiative as a community kitchen, and we were happy to serve. To encourage those who were hesitant, we introduced a token price of ₹5, which was optional for those who couldn’t afford it. This way, everyone could partake in the service with dignity.
Expanding Horizons
We started providing meals to school children, connecting with schools to support underprivileged students. With our mother’s blessings, we launched Devdoot Tiffin Seva, offering free nutritious food and essential medicines to needy elderly and handicapped individuals at their doorstep.
A Growing Movement
Our services expanded to multiple locations, and people began celebrating special occasions with us, helping the needy and spreading love. Today, I’m proud to say that Devdoot Food Bank has become a symbol of hope and compassion.
A Message
I urge all social workers to contribute according to their means. Feeding the hungry is the greatest religion, and Devdoot Food Bank will continue to uphold this principle. I bow down to my mother’s values and thank my society, friends, and relatives for their support.
Your story is a testament to the power of compassion and community service!
