URGENT: Help Us Feed Survivors of the Venezuela Earthquakes

Just $1 can provide an emergency meal

Venezuela has been struck by two devastating earthquakes, leaving entire communities shattered.

Buildings have collapsed. Families have lost their homes. Thousands of people are injured, displaced, searching for loved ones, or struggling to find food and clean drinking water.

Food Yoga International has a team of dedicated volunteers on the ground in Venezuela who are beginning emergency food relief immediately. Many of these volunteers are monks who have devoted their lives to compassionate service. They are ready to cook and distribute thousands of freshly prepared vegan meals directly to survivors—but they urgently need our help to purchase the food and supplies.

Our goal: 10,000 emergency meals

We are raising $10,000 to provide at least 10,000 meals to earthquake survivors.

At approximately $1 per meal, even a small donation can make an immediate difference:

$10 provides 10 meals

$25 provides 25 meals

$50 provides 50 meals

$100 provides 100 meals

$500 provides 500 meals

$1,000 provides 1,000 meals

Our volunteers will prepare nourishing vegan vegetable and rice stew, accompanied by fresh fruit and drinks. Meals will be delivered directly to people in the affected communities, including families who have lost their homes and those waiting for assistance near damaged neighborhoods and emergency shelters.

The funds raised will help purchase:

Rice, vegetables, legumes, herbs, and cooking ingredients

Fresh fruit and drinking water

Cooking fuel and essential kitchen supplies

Food containers and serving materials

Transportation to reach affected communities

Our team is ready to serve now

This is not a future proposal. Our volunteers are mobilizing now and are prepared to begin feeding people immediately.

With sufficient support, the team has the capacity to prepare and distribute thousands of meals each day. The faster funds arrive, the faster food can reach families facing hunger and uncertainty.

For more than 30 years, Food Yoga International has supported plant-based food relief and compassionate service around the world. Our mission is simple: provide freshly prepared, nourishing food with dignity, kindness, and without discrimination.

This emergency response is being coordinated by Guru Prasada Swami with Food Yoga International’s volunteer team in Venezuela.

Transparency and updates

We are committed to keeping every donor informed. As the relief effort develops, we will publish regular updates showing:

Photographs and videos from the distribution

The number of meals served

Reports from our volunteers

Information about how campaign funds are being used

Our team is currently focused on reaching survivors as quickly as possible. Photographs and firsthand reports will be added as soon as they become available.

Please act now

Every hour matters.

Please donate whatever you can. A contribution of only $1 can help place a warm, nourishing meal into the hands of someone facing unimaginable loss.

After donating, please share this campaign with your friends, family, congregation, workplace, and social networks. Your share may reach the person who helps us feed hundreds more survivors.

Together, we can bring food, comfort, and hope to the people of Venezuela during this devastating emergency.

Thank you for standing with Venezuela.
