Trupthi Free Meals for the Unsupported Elderly in Mysuru City, Karnataka State
Feel free to ask Campaigner for a new update on this Fundraiser.
The Trupthi Meals project was started in March 2018 in Mysuru city. The trust currently provides free food to elderly/senior unsupported persons, widows and widowers, in the city who have either been abandoned or neglected by their own children and relatives. The food is delivered to their homes by their volunteers. At the beginning they received 128 applications for free food. They formed 3 teams and visited each house and collected details of the elderly persons and their needs.
Initially, they made a modest beginning with 27 elderly persons. Now the number has increased to 86 elderly persons. The trust has identified a family to prepare home-cooked, hygienic and nutritious meals to serve their purpose. They serve Ragi Mudde/Balls(finger millet preparation), rice, sambar, cooked vegetables and curds for lunch, and Chapatis, Rava Dosa, Awalakki (Beaten rice), wheat bisibele bath, Rava pongal (Upma), Tondekai (Toadcock) Vegetable bath, and Chitranna (lemon rice) for dinner. Dinners are normally light. Special dishes are prepared on festive occasions. Food is also customized according to the requirements of people suffering from health issues like blood pressure and diabetes.
The food is packed in aluminum foil pouches, and is delivered to all the recipients between 11-30 am – 2-00 pm ( lunches) and between 6-30 pm to 8-30 pm (dinners). They have provided them a Honda scooter to deliver the food packets to all. The daily cost for serving food to 86 persons ranges from Rs 3,200 to Rs.3,600 per day. The trust receives plenty of calls from neglected elderly people. Currently, nearly 50 deserving applications are kept pending due to financial and resource constraints.
They also have an ambitious plan to provide free medical check-up and medicines to all the elderly people whom they serve food. Few doctors in Mysuru have agreed to give honorary service. Their goal is to reach more people and bring smiles on their faces and make their remaining life enjoyable. Their main aim is to provide free food to elderly/senior unsupported persons, widows and widowers, in the city who have either been abandoned or neglected by their own children and relatives. The main expenditure incurred by them is on groceries and green vegetables.
Kindly support them by donating groceries at Donatekart. This would enable them to enroll more elderly persons in Mysuru city.
