Archbishop Moras Launches ‘Food For Poor Programme

Archbishop DrBernanrdMoras of Bengaluru inaugurated a centre –‘ Food for the Poor’ Scheme on the occasion of the Parish Feast of Don Bosco Church in Bengaluru on August 20 (Sunday). Distribution of mid-day meal programme under ‘Care & Share’ initiated by Fr Thomas Vailattu from the Provincial House at different locations had been going on for several years now. As per this scheme, the excess food after an important function such as birthday, wedding, naming ceremony and others, is collected and kept in the fridge to serve the needy and those who deserve. Also people sponsor some meals of five, ten and even fewer numbers so that such meals are preserved for the day to provide and offer to the needy who go around looking for food. Archbishop, in the sidelines of the function, appreciated and encouraged such a novel, innovative and trail-blazing project when the Parish Priest and Rector Fr C M Jose, described the functioning of the pilot plan.
