Wholesome Food Prepared with Love & Compassion
Caring For Life is part of the largest vegetarian/vegan food distribution organisation in the world; ISKCON. Together, we donate more than a million healthy, plant-based meals – every day. These meals feed people living in crisis such as the homeless, the elderly and the poor. Our worldwide ISKCON confederation of over 550 centres distributes these meals to people in over 60 countries.
All these food programs are based on the understanding that certain foods have an inherent ability to heal the body, mind and soul. For this reason we serve only vegetarian food that is prepared with love and is given for free.
- Healthy, plant-based nutrition
- Ethically prepared with love
- Distributed in over 60 countries




Better for the Planet
This ethical use of food is also better for our environment and global food supplies. Eating in this way reduces global warming, water waste, deforestation, ocean pollution and even the extinction of some species.
Community Partnerships
Working together with organisations like Salvos, Vinnies, and local churches to ensure our meals reach those who need them most.

From our Charity Kitchen
Many of our meals are produced at our Govinda Valley retreat by dedicated volunteers who commit their time to serving others.
