Through this food drive, we hope to not only address the immediate need for food but also remind our homeless neighbors that they are seen and cared for,” Agarwal stated.

The Sprinkling Smiles Food Drive has garnered overwhelming support from the community. Students and civic organizations have joined hands to amplify the impact of the initiative. The campaign has also gained attention on social media, with residents sharing stories and spreading the word using the hashtag #SprinkleSmiles.
Anil Bhagat, an IT Professional and active volunteer in the food drive, expressed his enthusiasm for the cause, stating, “Being part of this food drive has been a truly humbling experience.
