During Diwali time, sending sweets and gifts to orphanages
and old age homes is a beautiful and meaningful way to share the joy with those
who may feel isolated. In Kolkata, several organisations are dedicated to
supporting children, the elderly and marginalised communities, making them
ideal partners for this initiative. Organising food drives at these centres not
only brings festive cheer but also fosters a sense of belonging among
residents. Here are a few local NGOs, where you can visit and help share the
