“Thanksgiving comes to us out of the prehistoric dimness, universal to all ages and all faiths. At whatever straws we must grasp, there is always a time for gratitude and new beginnings.”- J. Robert Moskin

Times are stormy. The world has offered us enough to complain and fret over. But the question we need to ask ourselves is — how often do we remember to give thanks for what we are in possession of?

Away from the common din of complaints, frustrations, anger and agony there is a day exclusively dedicated to showing your gratitude to all your near and dear ones. This day, universally known as Thanksgiving Day, is marked by excitement and anticipation. It is a day of gaiety and skylarking with your friends and family. People feast and give thanks for their good fortune.

But the question is, is it only enough to thank and be merry for the gift called life! Is our task only limited to enjoying a laugh and lavish meals with our family and folks? Wouldn’t it be nice if we could add a little philanthropic twist to this Thanksgiving?

What better way to show gratitude for your good fortune than to associate with The Akshaya Patra Foundation an NGO for children to help eliminate child hunger. Bask in the happiness of making a child smile this Thanksgiving by a simple donation of Rs. 750/-, enough to feed him/her for an entire academic year. Remember, your contribution will make a lasting impact this Thanksgiving day for kids in need!

We urge you to consider contributing to this worthy cause and Donate food for Thanksgiving on this occasion. A donation from you will give a child a reason to give thanks this holiday.

Above all, on this occasion, we would like to wish you all a very happy Thanksgiving. We are grateful for your continued support and efforts to help us succeed. This Thanksgiving let’s come together to put on our giving gloves and bring pockets full of sunshine for our little friends out there.

The Akshaya Patra Foundation provides daily food to some of India’s most vulnerable children who are deprived of education owing to their impoverished conditions. These young ones are forced to work as daily wage earners to make enough money for just a single meal. For them, too often, education just seems a distant dream!

Akshaya Patra’s mission is to feed 5 million children by 2020 and you can help us in achieving this. Fundraise with us and gift a child a smile. Take your first step in making a contribution today to feed a hungry child. You can make a difference in the lives of these underserved children by creating your own fundraising campaign.

Fundraising is not only a philanthropic gesture but it is fun too! These are great community building skills and have a rippling effect. Your gesture can inspire millions and in turn bring Akshaya Patra a step closer to its dream of ending child hunger in India.

We are ever ready at your disposal to facilitate you in creating your own fundraising campaigns.
