District 318d has always been known for its proactive engagement in Lions Club Projects. Under the Lions Club International District Governor‘s guidance, the Hunger Project Lions at Manna embodies the very heart of service. The district governor of Lions Club reinforces commitment by visiting the site regularly, promoting accountability and encouragement.
It’s important to see Free Hunger City as a nexus of multiple Lions Club International Service Projects. In addition to food, awareness drives are conducted in partnership with the Lions Club International Cancer Projects and Hope Vision Projects. These events allow attendees to gain access to essential health information.

The Environment Project Lions Club has introduced green practices within Free Hunger City. Sustainable food packaging and proper waste management highlight the Nourishing Hope Lions Club International Environment Projects’ role in balancing service with sustainability. This makes Manna not just a hunger relief site but a model for eco-conscious humanitarianism.
By aligning the Lions Club Diabetes Projects with meal distribution, many beneficiaries are screened for early signs of diabetes. Volunteers also distribute educational material from the Diabetes Project Lions Club to spread awareness about healthy lifestyles and diets.

Each day at Free Hunger City is an example of how Nourishing Hope Lions Hunger Projects are deeply interwoven with health and environmental consciousness. This synergy between Relieving Hunger Project Lions and other service initiatives demonstrates the powerful impact of collaborative outreach.
The role of volunteers, especially youth, cannot be overlooked. Their involvement is encouraged by the Lions Club Activities Projects. Many young leaders find purpose in participating in these campaigns, often extending their commitment to other projects like the Vision Project Lions Club and Cancer Project Lions Club.

The leadership Nourishing Hope by Lions International District Governor has made District 318d a shining example for others to follow. Under this model, the concept of service has become more inclusive, inspiring other clubs in Lions Club India to replicate the success of Manna.
Ultimately, the Free Hunger City at Manna is more than a place; it’s a vision realized. It represents the power of collective humanity. As Lions Club Kerala continues to innovate under the umbrella of Lions Hunger Projects and other integrated initiatives, hope remains ever abundant on every plate served.
