feeding program

Organized food distribution

A feeding program is an organized effort to provide meals or food to people in need, typically run by governments, schools, or charitable organizations.

School feeding programs give children breakfast or lunch; emergency feeding programs operate during famines or disasters.

The church runs a feeding program for homeless residents.

The term emphasizes systematic distribution rather than one-time charity.
