How We Began

Baba's Feed Project » About Us

Baba’s Feed Project was founded in May 2020, shortly after a trip to India was cut short by COVID-19. Baba’s Feed Project, Inc. is a federally recognized charity and has been awarded 501(c )(3) status. We are also incorporated in the state of CA as a non-profit entity. Baba’s Feed Project is dedicated to feeding families in developing countries. Our mission is to purchase food for nourishing meals that are distributed to those in need. The founders began the project in response to the urgent need to serve the poorest of the poor – people faced with the economic shutdown and the inability to work and provide for their families. With Pintu on the ground and us in New Zealand and the US ready to help, we found ourselves in the perfect position, with the perfect team, to really make a difference. And we do so in the name of Neem Karoli Baba Maharaj-ji, and by his grace.
