Roti Bank

Mumbai Roti Bank is a non-profit, food rescue organisation initiated by Roti Foundation Mumbai that bridges the gap between hunger and excess food. Started in December 2017 under the able mentorship of former Director General of Police, Maharashtra, Mr. D. Sivanandhan, we aim to eliminate hunger, malnutrition and food wastage, many meals at a time. The way our NGO functions is simple. We pick up excess food from weddings, events, hotels, cafeterias, housing societies and deliver it to thousands of hungry people who live in slums or on the footpath. We daily serve beneficiaries which primarily include children and also others who are most in need. Other than that, we distribute freshly cooked food to our regular beneficiaries. The NGO has dedicated helplines where we can be reached and our vans pick up the excess food and redistribute it promptly, thus ensuring that the quality of the food remains intact. We have now expanded our reach to additional areas like Mira-Bhayandar, Thane and Nagpur. All of these locations host their own helpline and dedicated vans for distributing food in their area.
