The Siva Helping Foundation was born from personal experience with the devastating impact of food insecurity and mental health struggles. Our founder, Siva, grew up watching their own family navigate periods of hardship, experiencing firsthand the shame, isolation, and fear that accompanies asking for help.
After witnessing a close friend’s crisis—a talented young professional who couldn’t afford both groceries and therapy while battling depression —Siva realized that too many people were falling through the cracks. The existing support systems were fragmented, difficult to access, and often came with stigma attached.
In 2020, during the height of the pandemic when food insecurity and mental health crises reached unprecedented levels, Siva founded this
organization with a simple but powerful mission: ensure that no one has to choose between eating and healing, between paying rent and
seeking support. What began as a small community effort has grown into a comprehensive support network serving thousands of individuals
and families.
Today, Siva continues to guide the Foundation’s vision of compassionate, accessible support for all. Every program we offer reflects the belief that everyone deserves dignity, nourishment, and the resources to thrive—not just survive.

"I was struggling to afford both food and my medication. The Siva Helping Foundation provided groceries for three months while I got back on my feet. But more than that, they connected me with a counselor who helped me work through my anxiety. I finally feel like myself again."
"As a college student working two jobs, I was barely eating and my grades were suffering. The emergency food support gave me one less thing to worry about. The mental health resources helped me learn to manage stress. I graduated last month with honors."
"After my husband lost his job, we didn't know how we'd feed our three kids. The Foundation provided weekly food deliveries and connected us with a support group of other families going through similar challenges. We're not alone anymore."
