Rice for elders in a shelter: 22 and 30 January 2026

Five photographs in the trust’s records come from two days, 22 and 30 January 2026. They show care for elders in a shelter.

Dates in this post are the dates in the file names of the photographs on the volunteers’ phones.

The shelter

The elders rest on beds and cots under a green cloth roof that lets in filtered light. It is a tent, not a building, and the pictures give no name or place.

The volunteers

A man in a white shirt carries a sack of rice to a woman lying on a bed. A young woman in an HNP t-shirt carries another sack and bends to speak to an elder. Another looks at the camera while she tends to a person on a cot. The back of one t-shirt shows the trust’s emblem.

What rice means

Rice is the item that can be cooked into many meals, so a sack given to a shelter feeds many people over many days. The photographs show a sack given, not a meal served, which is a different kind of help from the food service.

What we cannot say

The records do not give the weight of the sacks, the number of elders or the cost. The trust does not publish numbers it cannot support with a list.

The trust number is 97036 30893 (call and PhonePe).
