Rotary International District 3150, in collaboration with Nirmaan Organization, is proud to support the Hare Krishna Movement Charitable Foundation (HKM) which supplies daily, nutritious meals to the poor and underprivileged through the Anna Canteens Program of Andhra Pradesh State Government. HKM also supplies breakfast to School Children and food to Hospital Attendants. HKM’s Kitchens had also worked as disaster management kitchens during Floods and Pandemic time and served food to the needy. This life-saving initiative ensures that no one in need goes hungry, and with your support, we can scale its impact even further.
For over a decade, the HKM Charitable Foundation has successfully served over 160 million meals to those in need. In partnership with the Andhra Pradesh State Government, the foundations Kitchen at Mangalagiri supplies daily meals to 43 Anna Canteens located across Mangalagiri, Vijayawada, Guntur, Bapatla, Tadepalli, Tenali, Narasaraopet, Chirala, and beyond, through its state-of-the-art community kitchen in Mangalagiri. However, with demand skyrocketing to over 40,000 meals daily, the kitchen’s existing capacity of 25,000 meals per day is no longer sufficient, leading to heavy reliance on manual labor to cope with demand. The HKM Charitable Foundation is an associate of ISKCON Bengaluru and a sister organization of the Akshaya Patra Foundation.
