Foodpanda’s ‘Food for
Soul’ initiative invites you to celebrate the spirit of love with the less
fortunate this Valentine’s Day
India’s most popular food ordering portal
encourages patrons to make donations of food towards the welfare of the
underprivileged, in association with Uday Foundation
Mumbai, February 13,
2014: Foodpanda.in, India’s largest online food ordering
platform has initiated the ‘Food for Soul’ campaign with a Grassroot nonprofit,
Uday Foundation to show some love and concern for the underprivileged section
of society. Timed to coincide with Valentine’s Day, the campaign invites you to
celebrate the spirit of the occasion by spreading the joy of good food to those
who go hungry no matter what day it is. Simply log on to the website and make a
donation between Rs.50 and Rs.1000 that amounts to a food item listed like
foodgrains, pulses, vegetable oil, biscuits and so on. Foodpanda.in will
forward the proceedings to the charitable institution thus reaching out to many
a hungry child who deserves to live a healthy and happy life.
Till date, Foodpanda
has helped satiate food cravings by helping customers to order food online.
Their new campaign now induces patrons to generously feed the lesser privileged
by contributing a margin of what they spend on candle light dinners, flowers
and gifts on Valentine’s Day. With the noble gesture of the ‘Food for Soul’
campaign, Foodpanda lends support to Uday Foundation’s ongoing project
‘Santushti’ through which it has been providing nourishment and food to the
impoverished. Uday Foundation is one of the most trusted grass root NGOs of
India which works towards improving the lives of children and aims to ensure
health with dignity to every underprivileged child and adult in the country.
Rohit Chadda, MD and
Founder – Foodpanda.in said, “'Food for
Soul' is our take on an entirely different way of celebrating Valentine's Day.
There are millions of underprivileged children in India who struggle for every
meal, every day. Through this initiative, we aim at touching some of these
lives by providing them with food & healthcare. We are glad to tie up
with Uday Foundation which has been doing great work in rehabilitating the
destitute and supporting their well-being.”
Dr. Hitendra Mahajan, Founding Member of Uday Foundation commented on the association with the campaign, “Gandhiji had once
said, ‘To a man with an empty stomach, food is God.’ Driven by these words, Uday
Foundation has been tirelessly working towards feeding those who find it hard
to get even one square meal a day. Bringing out this campaign in time for
Valentine’s Day increases the poignancy of the cause we are committed to. The
‘Food for Soul’ campaign in association with Foodpanda.in
will help us reach a wider public.”
Under the ‘Santushti’
project, Uday Foundation runs a free food van to serve wholesome food to
families of the underprivileged patients in ICUs of government hospitals. The
van also feeds children who come from distant places to Delhi hospitals for
long treatments. Foodpanda’s ‘Food for Soul’ campaign will provide support to
this project.
The campaign will
start from 14th February 2014 till 28th February 2014.
