Project Details: Saturday Annadaan Seva in Dehradun, Uttarakhand

Every Saturday, we dedicate this campaign to Annadaan Seva for the poor and needy in and around Dehradun, Uttarakhand. Saturday is considered especially auspicious for seeking the blessings of Shani Dev, and offering food to the hungry on this day is regarded as a powerful punya ka kaam that helps reduce suffering and bring peace, stability, and protection to the devotee’s life.

Under this campaign, we identify daily wage earners, slum areas, roadside dwellers, and families struggling to arrange even one nutritious meal. With the support of donors like you, we prepare and distribute fresh, sattvik food that includes seasonal vegetables, dal, rice, chapati, and sometimes fruit or sweets, so that people not only fill their stomachs but also feel respected, cared for, and remembered.

Each contribution made on Saturday is offered in devotion to Shani Dev Bhagwan with the sankalp that no one in Dehradun should sleep hungry. By joining this weekly Annadaan, you are not just giving food—you are participating in a continuous seva that directly connects your faith to action and your devotion to relief for those in pain.

Key Highlights of the Saturday Annadaan Project:

• Weekly Seva on Saturdays: Food is prepared and distributed every Saturday, aligning the seva with the special tithi of Shani Dev for maximum spiritual and social impact.
• Focus on Poor & Needy: The primary beneficiaries are street dwellers, laborers, rickshaw pullers, rag-pickers, elderly citizens, and children from low-income families in Dehradun.
• Nutritious & Hygienic Meals: Freshly cooked vegetarian meals are prepared in a clean kitchen, ensuring dignity, taste, and health for every person served.
• On-Ground Distribution: Our team and volunteers personally visit identified spots, bastis, shelters, and roadside locations to serve food with respect and a smile.
• Transparent Use of Donations: Each donation is used for raw materials, cooking, packing, and logistics. Wherever possible, we share photos and reports from the ground so donors can see the impact of their support.
• Devotional Sankalp: Donors can make a Saturday contribution as a sankalp for family peace, career stability, relief from challenges, or in memory of loved ones, keeping Shani Dev in their thoughts.
• Local Impact in Dehradun: The campaign focuses on different areas of Dehradun and nearby localities, ensuring that each week new clusters of people receive hot meals and hope.

By supporting this campaign, you help transform Saturday from just another day in the week into a powerful seva ka din, where your faith in Shani Dev becomes food in someone’s plate. Whether you donate once, monthly, or take a special sankalp for multiple Saturdays, every rupee becomes a part of this sacred chain of kindness.

Join us in this ongoing effort so that together we can say with pride and gratitude that in Dehradun, on Saturdays, no one goes to sleep hungry, and every act of giving returns to the donor as blessings, protection, and inner peace from Shani Dev Bhagwan.
