The challenge is not a lack of food — it is making food consistently available to everyone who needs it.

The Robin Hood Army is a volunteer based, zero-funds organization that works to get surplus food from restaurants and the community to serve less fortunate people.
Our local chapters are run by friends and colleagues. Our "Robins" are largely students and young working professionals — everyone does this in their free time. The lesser fortunate sections we serve include homeless families, orphanages, patients from public hospitals, and old age homes.
Really simple — beat global hunger and bring out the best in people around the world. A world where no one sleeps hungry.
The idea is to create self-sustained chapters across the world who will look after their local community. And in the process, inspire people around us to give back to those who need it most.
What We've Been Up To
Global Presence
12 Countries • One Mission
Citizens First → Mission Next → Robins Last
On the army's first night of distribution, we realized that helping the less fortunate may feel good personally, but feeding 50 odd people at night, once a week would not create any real difference in a country where millions are starving.
Hunger is an acute problem. We needed to reach out to more people, more restaurants, and more cities — our deadline being yesterday.

If you manage a restaurant or generally want to contribute regular meals from your family or workplace, let's connect.
