Volunteers ladling food from a large pot into bowls at the roadside stall in Rishikesh

Donate

We serve hot meals on the street in Rishikesh, cooked fresh and handed over in person. We are a registered non-profit — course fees keep the centre running, donations keep the food going out.

There is no payment form here, on purpose. Message us and a person will answer, tell you exactly where your donation goes, and send you the details you need.

How It Works

Three Steps, No Forms

We would rather talk to you than take a card number behind a screen.

  1. 01

    Send the Message

    The Donate button opens WhatsApp with your first message already written. Press send — that is the whole step.

  2. 02

    We Answer, Not a Bot

    Someone from the centre replies. Tell us what you would like to support and we will tell you honestly what it costs and what it changes.

  3. 03

    You Give, and You Hear Back

    We send the transfer details and a receipt. When the money is spent, we tell you what it went on — you do not have to ask.

Where It Goes

What Your Donation Pays For

Most of what you give goes into the next day of cooking. The rest keeps the centre able to do it.

Any Amount Helps

Start With a Message

You do not have to decide an amount first. Send the message, ask what is being cooked this week, and go from there.

Prefer email? Write to us and one of the team will answer — the same person who would have answered on WhatsApp.
