The Meaning of Food for Life
The most important place to start is to understand what the Food for Life project is and is not.
How Do I Start my Food for Life Program?
Some practical advice on how to get started today on a very low budget.
Where Should I Distribute?
There are numerous ways to operate your FFL project, including from the temple, from a soup kitchen, in partnership with another NGO, or a mobile service, etc.
The Different Kinds of FFL Programs
Food for Life projects may have unique missions based on the needs of the local community
A Direct Challenge to Naysayers
Jayadvaita Swami and others have been very vocal in protesting the legitimacy of Food for Life. In this section, we directly address each one of their criticisms.
What Should I Distribute?
There is no reason why you have to serve Indian cuisine. Prasadam is not tied to a particular country and Prabhupada encouraged devotees to cook according to local taste.
The Ideal Menu
Whatever your budget allows and the parameters of your local community’s taste preference. I also discuss the dangers of commercial milk.
How Should I Distribute?
Rules of Serving Prasadam
Preaching with Food for Life
Just about every aspect of Krishna Consciousness can be introduced through the Food for Life project. In this section, I explain how.
Government Relations
Prabhupada said that it was important for devotees to capture the attention and support of the leaders of society. I explain how.
Media Relations
The “Brhat Mrdange” of book distribution was Srila Bhaktisiddhanta’s way of reaching the masses. In this section, we talk about how to reach the masses with your FFL message using modern media.
Fundraising with Food for Life
Fundraising requires “Friend” raising, so here we discuss the fundamentals of a good strategy.
Government Funding
The Government has a lot of money to give you if you position your project in the right way and follow the rules of transparency.
How to Manage your FFL Project
Here we discuss some good managerial tactics to keep the ship running.
What did Prabhupada Say in Support of Food for Life?
A SAMPLE Food for Life Constitution
A sample constitution that you can use when registering your charity with the government.

Even more nectar, including information on bogus ingredients in foods, etc.
