THE CRY FOR FOOD
What is Hunger?
Everyone feels hungry on a daily basis. Most people are able to satisfy this craving and need. Even if not immediately, they can count on having a meal or snack within hours. This is not the type of hunger that Bread is concerned with.
People who suffer chronic hunger don’t have the option of eating when they are hungry. They do not get enough calories, essential nutrients, or both. People who are hungry have an ongoing problem with getting food to eat. They have a primary need — how to feed themselves and their children today and tomorrow. They have little energy for anything else.
Hunger in Pandemic
Fueling hunger in an already hungry world
In our deeply unequal world, millions of people are living in, and dying from, hunger every year. In 2020, 690 million people were estimated to be food insecure, of which 135 million suffered crisis level hunger or worse.
This crisis is not about a lack of food. These devastating hunger levels are a symptom of a broken food system that has allowed millions of people to go hungry on a planet that produces more than enough food for everyone.
The coronavirus pandemic has added fuel to the fire of this growing hunger crisis. It has exacerbated existing inequalities and vulnerabilities while pushing millions of people into food insecurity as a result of spiraling unemployment and the economic disruption caused by the disease.

Syamli Tastes Masala Rice Prasadam
Dear kind-hearted people, the name of this girl is Syamli. She stays in sagarli pada with her family. The problem with people staying in this locality and similar other nearby is that they are daily wage workers like her father works at small mills.
The story of Syamli is that they were not able to get proper 2-time food because there was no money coming in. When we started distributing free food packets in our “food for life” van, we played “Hare Krishna” kirtan of ISKCON founder Acharya Srila Prabhupad. As soon as she used to hear the kirtan she ran towards our “food for life ” van for the delicious Khichdi or Masala rice Prasad (sanctified food offered to Sri Sri Radha Krishna). Come forward to feed such more Syamlis and other poor families who are looking towards us for help in this pandemic.
85 year old woman gets delighted to see Hare Krishna's
Dear kind-hearted people, we don’t know the name of this old lady, but we know the feeling that she went through when she saw Sachinandan Hari Das & Bhakta Shaunak. We are distributing free sanctified food to the needy and hungry since 2020. We have been distributing more than 1000 packets every day & we go to a variety of places to do this. It was one such day when we went to the Smit Old age home in Bhiwandi. As soon this 85-year-old lady heard “Hare Krishna” from the lips of Sachinanadan Hari Das, we all saw, how this lady who was lying on a bed, opened her eyes and saw us. She got a big smile on her face. She started greeting us with “Hare Krishna”. We spoke with her and she was so excited to be with us. we spent around 10 minutes with her & when the time came for us to leave, she caught hold of Sachinandan’s hands, she was not ready to let us go. We realized once again that we not only distribute Prasadam every day but also happiness by spreading the Holy Name of Krishna.
