FOOD DRIVE FOR THE NEEDY- New Year 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). I always had a wish to do something for the needy and received much inspiration from an organisation called Robinhood Army. I've been a Robin for almost a year now and it feels amazing to be the reason behind someone's smile. 💚
Date of food drive:- 10.01.2021
Location of food drive:- Barasat and Barrackpore Station, Kolkata, West Bengal
By carrying out the same, I was able to help out 45 needy families with food such as rice, soyabean, pulses, milk, puffed rice etc. and other basic necessities such as soap, shampoo, sanitizer, mask 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.
