FOOD DRIVE FOR THE NEEDY- Diwali drive
I was highly inspired from the Robinhood Army, a zero-fund organisation that provides food to the needy. Its motto "SERVE THE HUNGRY CITIZEN" motivated me a lot to work and do something for the society.
I am a scout and I belong to North 24 Parganas ( Barrackpore Local Association). Now I got an opportunity to be a part of it and to serve the hungry citizens. I've been a Robin for almost a year now and it feels amazing to be the reason behind someone's smile. We found a target location and accordingly served the food.💚
Date of food drive:- 08.11.2020
Location of food drive:- Hridaypur, Barasat, Kolkata, West Bengal
By carrying out the same, I was able to help out a large number of needy children with food such as cakes, biscuits, chocolates, sweets etc. and stationary such as pencils, pens, sharpeners, erasers etc.
I've learnt that when you donate food or feed the needy for atleast a day or two, the amount of satisfaction you get from within is immeasurable. You also get to motivate many of the people living around you so that some day in the future they can also do something for the society.
