When the COVID-19 pandemic struck in 2020, Meenal Shrotriya wanted to help. She was already affiliated with the Dr. Parnerkar Lifetime Management Foundation, which empowers people for successful life management and building a strong community. Meenal and her family joined efforts led by friends to support Food 4 Life, a homeless shelter whose kitchen closed due to COVID. Ultimately Meenal recruited many other friends to get involved for variety of volunteering tasks. Eighty meals were planned, cooked and delivered daily, and the work continues today.

Meenal dedicated 100s of hours in 2021 for various tasks from preparation to transportation and delivery of meals.

She has also performed for fundraising events for this cause.
