Call 1908

[Keane 16]

I don't really know if this works; got it in my mail. But looks like a splendid idea nonetheless.

If you have a function/party at your home and if there is excess food
available at the end, don't hesitate to call 1098 (only in India) -
child helpline. They will come and collect the food.

Please circulate this message which can help feed many children.

Its false mail.

here is what they have on their site.

We understand there is a chain mail circulating that says - one should call up 1098 to pick up left over food after a party etc so that it is not wasted. We are India 's only and most widespread Children's phone emergency outreach service (1098) for children in need of care and protection. We do not pick up food or distribute food. This mail was not initiated by us, kindly do not circulate it. Your cooperation is appreciated.
