Food distribution for the poor in India includes the government's Public Distribution System (PDS), which provides affordable food grains, and a wide network of NGOs like Akshaya Patra Foundation, Goonj, and local charities that distribute meals, grocery kits, and food to underprivileged families, children, and the homeless. Individuals and companies can also support these initiatives by donating food items, money, or by participating in local food drives organized by organizations such as the India Food Banking Network (IFBN).
