The Meal Buddy Program 2.0

40 Rupees, 200 Smiles: MAKE A BETTER PLACE's Meal Drive Fills More Than Bellies in Bengaluru.





The aroma of freshly cooked rice gently blew through the hurrying streets of Bengaluru, mixing with the harsh sounds of honking horns and talking crowds. But amidst the urban symphony, a different melody played - the melody of hope, of kindness, of humanity. MAKE A BETTER PLACE, in collaboration with the incredible team from VOICE OF HOME, was weaving its magic once again on 6th - 7th Jan 2024, serving up not just meals, but moments of pure joy and connections. This wasn't just any meal distribution drive; it was a testament to the power of community, a ripple of compassion that touched over 200 lives across various regions of Bengaluru. From the bustling Shivajinagar to the quaint lanes of Kalyanagar, from the historic Mosque Road to the vibrant Banaswadi, the aroma of hope followed us, leading us to those who needed it most. 40 Rupees, a World of Difference


It all began with a simple ask - Rs. 40, the price of a warm meal for someone less fortunate. We reached out through our social media channels, and the response was overwhelming. People from all walks of life came together, united by a single desire - to make a difference. Every rupee donated was a brick laid in the foundation of our mission, a testament to the fact that even the smallest act of kindness can have a ripple effect.


From Hungry Stomachs to Happy Faces


The elderly, the children, the daily wage earners - each face we encountered bore the same unspoken gratitude, a silent symphony of appreciation that resonated in our hearts.

There was Amma, her eyes twinkling with tears as she accepted a plate for her young son, her weathered hands trembling with emotion. And then there were the children, their laughter echoing through the streets, their innocent eyes sparkling with delight as they devoured the simple meal.


A Call to Action: Be the Change, Feed the Hope:


We need your help, your compassion, your action. Donate, volunteer, spread the word – every little bit helps turn a gnawing pang into a satisfied sigh, a hollow feeling into a heart full of hope. Together, let's rewrite the narrative of Bengaluru, a city where no stomach sleeps empty, where every corner echoes with the laughter of a nourished soul. Be the change, be the hope, be the reason a smile replaces a tear.
