Sounds too good to be true but this one is for real. Sneha Mohandoss operates the bank by collecting excess food from the public and gives it to the hungry and those in need of food. This food Bank was started through Facebook in 2015 during the massive floods in Chennai.

Right now there are 18 such food banks in India.The reason for having set up this food Bank was  to eradicate hunger . She said that while accompanying her parents to temples where they used to give annadhanam, she was inspired to do this on a daily basis. She used social media to get volunteers and spread the word She also conducts food rescues where extra food from weddings and celebrations are collected and given to those in need . She  tests food to check the quality before distributing . A very inspiring story . Hope more people volunteer to help Sneha
