Founding

ISKCON started Food for Life (FFL) in 1974. Seeing street children in India rummaging through garbage for something to eat, the Founder of ISKCON (A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada) was moved to tears and instructed his followers that no one within a ten-mile radius of any Krishna temple should go hungry.
