Annadhanam for the Needy at Sanmarga Sangam

Spreading Hope and Kindness, One Meal at a Time

On Wednesday, 3rd December 2025, the Arunraj Foundation carried out a meaningful Annadhanam (food donation) program at our Sanmarga Sangam, reaffirming its commitment to serving humanity with compassion and love.

Through this initiative, more than 200 individuals, including elderly citizens above 70 years, persons with disabilities, and economically disadvantaged people, were provided with wholesome meals. The event stood as a powerful reminder that serving food is serving life itself.

🍽️ The Significance of Annadhanam

Annadhanam is considered one of the highest forms of charity. It not only addresses hunger but also restores dignity, hope, and emotional comfort to those who are often forgotten by society.

For elderly individuals and people with disabilities, a simple meal represents:

  • Care and respect

  • Emotional reassurance

  • Human connection

  • A sense of belonging

The Arunraj Foundation believes that no one should go hungry, especially those who have spent their lives serving families and society.
