About Us

Building a Community of Care at Joy of Giving

We're a passionate group fighting hunger and poverty in India. Join us in making a difference!

Our Story

A small group of like-minded individuals, united by a desire to make a difference, came together in 2021. Our story began with a simple mission: to address hunger in our community. This marked the birth of the Joy of Giving Trust. The name reflects the joy we find in uniting and serving those in need. Over the years, we've realized the importance of expanding our efforts to not only support those facing food insecurity but also provide a platform for compassionate individuals to contribute.

Our Impact

We're a leading NGO for the underprivileged India, providing a variety of programs that go beyond just meals. Here's a glimpse into the impact we've made:
