00:01In a time when individual concerns often take priority, a volunteer-driven effort in Rajasthan is quietly sustaining a daily
00:10support system for hundreds in need.
00:15For nearly 600 days, this group has been providing free meals to the destitute and to attendance of patients at
00:23the district hospital, ensuring that food is one less worry in difficult times.
00:31The initiative began in 2022 with a simple act, placing food and water for animals and birds.
00:39But as volunteers stepped out regularly, they encountered a larger issue – hunger among the homeless and daily wage workers.
00:49Soon, the effort expanded into cooking and distributing meals on the streets.
00:54What started as a weekly activity gradually became a daily service, now reaching 500 to 600 people every day.
01:05The turning point came when volunteers began assisting sick individuals to the hospital and noticed that patient attendants were struggling
01:14to arrange meals.
01:15Since January 2026, they have extended their service to include them as well.
01:22The initiative now operates under the name Help All Foundation, supported by a diverse group of volunteers, including youth, home
01:30-makers and government employees.
01:33Explaining how the idea evolved into a larger mission, the founder says,
01:42We started by feeding animals, but when we stepped out, we saw people going hungry.
01:48That's when we decided to expand and cook meals ourselves.
01:54As the scale of the initiative grew, managing daily operations became a collective responsibility.
02:03Today we are serving food twice a day, around 500 to 600 people eat daily.
02:09All expenses are managed through contributions from our team and supporters.
02:15For many, witnessing this effort first-hand became the reason to join.
02:23When I first saw this, I thought food was being sold.
02:27But when I realized it was free and served with respect, I decided to join and contribute.
02:32For those receiving the support, the impact is immediate and practical.
02:41My mother is admitted in the hospital.
02:43Arranging food every day was difficult.
02:46This service helps us a lot.
02:48No extra oil or spice.
02:50The food is simple and good, and they serve it with respect.
02:54With plans to open an old-age home and a cowshed, the group is now looking to expand its work
03:00further.
03:01Continuing to respond to gaps where support is needed the most.
03:05In Alwar, this consistent effort is not just about food.
03:10It is about dignity, continuity and community support.
