Hare Krishna Food for Life
Vegetarian food relief and community service, shared with care.
The mission
Govinda's connection to Food for Life reflects a simple idea: sharing nourishing vegetarian food can strengthen people and community.
We donate meals to those in need 7 days a week! From packaging up and providing our leftover food at the end of service to setting up in parks and community areas on the weekend to provide hundreds of meals.
Govinda's Brisbane
Hare Krishna Food for Life is the world’s largest vegetarian food relief program. Established by Srila Prabhupada in 1972, the program offers relief to people experiencing hardship on a worldwide scale. The program is active in more than 60 countries, including America, Asia, Australia, Africa and Europe. Govinda’s Brisbane City is actively supporting the preparation and distribution of warm vegetarian meals through its daily support program. Every day, the team prepares and distributes meals to people in need while also supporting other not-for-profit organisations through their community service work. Last year, the team distributed more than 14,000 meals to people in need.
