HungerMitao - Sewa Diwali Food/Funds Drive
A Huge Success!
“Sewa" is a word that means "service" in most of the Indian languages.
And this year's Sewa Diwali initiative was nothing short of spectacular.
Celebrating Diwali, the festival of lights, the Indian American community banded together
collecting tonnes of food and thousands of dollars from across the metroplex
as part of the annual food drive benefiting the North Texas community.

This year, HungerMitao is proud to contribute
49,000 pounds of food and $13,365 to this initiative,
strengthening the North Texas Food Bank’s feeding network.

HungerMitao team is grateful and inspired by these community engagements that help keep our neighbors nourished.

Happy 6th Anniversary HungerMitao!

🎉 Kudos to the incredible Indian American community for their unwavering support.

Let's continue with our collective compassion and the "Give Where You Live" spirit.
Your engagement is making an impact – 17+ million meals in North Texas and 55+ million across the USA. 🙌💙

2023 HungerMitao Month
Food & Funds-For-Food Drive
A Huge Success; Over 100,000 Nutritious Meals Enabled!

Each year we celebrate August as HungerMitao Month to commemorate India's Independence! And, like each year, we invite the community to join in to help raise food and funds for North Texas Food Bank. The process/act is simple, yet the impact is life saving!

Here are three ways in which community members engaged in the 2023 HungerMitao Month - Food & Funds-For-Food Drive (anytime between August 1st and 31st);

Food Drive: In your neighborhood, organization, association, conduct a food drive to collect plastic jars of Peanut (or other Nut) Butter. You can drop off the collected items at any one of the 10 India Bazaar locations around the metroplex.
Funds-For-Food Drive: Make a donation directly to North Texas Food Bank through this link: https://www.justgiving.com/page/hungermitaomonth2023
Feel ambitious: Just email us your name, email, image/picture/logo to [email protected] will be happy to setup your exclusive fundraising page which you can share with your network and track the number of meals you made possible.

North Texas is unfortunately home to a high level of food insecurity. Shockingly, 1 in 5 kids in our community are at risk of going hungry every day. However, we can make a difference. By supporting the North Texas Food Bank (NTFB), you will be contributing to programs that keep our neighborhoods nourished.

Your generosity will have a lasting impact on the lives of those in need, and we genuinely appreciate your involvement in this meaningful cause.

Welcome to HungerMitao_NorthTexas
The HungerMitao chapter for North Texas Food Bank was formed to raise awareness, improve engagement, as well as channel resources and contributions of the Indian American community toward NTFB’s mission of a hunger-free community.

A critical component of NTFB’s tenet of community engagement, HungerMitao is working to provide food assistance to thousands of food insecure individuals across NTFB’s 13 county service area. It does that by:

Raising hunger-awareness
Encouraging active volunteering
Conducting food drive campaigns
Raising crucial funds

Mission of HungerMitao is as much about eradicating hunger as it is about unifying the fragmented efforts of the Indian American community and focusing it on the humanitarian cause of hunger.

By coming together as an unified Indian American community, we can demonstrate how any place we call home benefits from our presence. We are smart, compassionate change-agents, who bloom where we are planted. While we may never be able to eradicate hunger, let us ensure no one goes hungry – HungerMitao!

About HungerMitao?
HungerMitao is a volunteer-driven grassroots movement focused on raising awareness about hunger in the USA, improving community engagement, as well as channeling resources and contributions of the Indian American community towards fighting hunger through the Feeding America network of food banks. Launched in North Texas in 2017, the movement has enabled more than 50 million meals through Feeding America and food banks in North Texas, Houston, New York City, Atlanta, Seattle, SE Michigan and Tarrant area.
