A Spark of Compassion A Plate Full of Hope

Born in the stillness of the COVID-19 lockdown—when hunger echoed through empty streets—MEHER emerged as a lifeline. What began as a response to crisis has grown into a movement: To ensure no one sleeps hungry, and every plate carries hope.

Today, MEHER nourishes over 4,000 lives every month, delivering food, care, and dignity to 34 orphanages, old age homes, and shelters across Maharashtra
