Kolkata gets its very first food ATM

India Today  

Food ATM, a 320-litre refrigerator laden with leftovers, is ensuring that the poor and needy in Kolkata do not go hungry, thanks to an initiative by a restaurateur here. Asif Ahmed, the co-owner of Sanjha Chulha restaurant chain, started the Food ATM with support of three organisations in front of one of his outlets in Park Circus to help curb food wastage and feed the needy. The refrigerator is topped with a placard saying "the amount of food India wastes annually is enough to feed entire Egypt for a year". Ahmed said the Food ATM was inspired by similar food-bank concepts in India and other parts of the world.
