Hunger Relief Program by Vandana Rao

Spreading the true light of Diwali through compassion and community.

During our Hunger Relief Program sponsored by Ms. Vandana Rao in celebration of Diwali, we were reminded that the true light of the festival shines brightest when it’s shared with others.

Through her generosity, the program became a beautiful way to spread warmth, nourishment, hope, and light to our community. We also extend our heartfelt thanks to RSPO Foundation for generously providing the corned beef that helped make our meals even more special.

As lights were lit in homes across the world, we shared the same Diwali spirit in a different but equally meaningful way, through hot meals, genuine care, and moments of connection that touched every heart.
