Kolkata: This festive season, the National Restaurant Association of India (NRAI) Kolkata Chapter continued its tradition of giving back through Santa’s Cause 2025, its annual Christmas outreach initiative launched in 2019.
The initiative positively impacted over 4,000 children across multiple institutions in Kolkata. Since its inception, Santa’s Cause has grown into a nationwide movement, uniting restaurateurs across city chapters in a shared commitment to compassion, inclusion and community care.
The initiative extended joy and celebration to children across multiple institutions in the city, including St. Xavier’s School, Ramrik Institution, St. James School, Dhapa Bustee Welfare, Tijala Club, Tata Medical Centre and St. Augustine’s School. Through the distribution of gifts, festive treats and moments of shared celebration, Santa’s Cause 2025 brought the true spirit of Christmas to children from diverse communities.
The initiative was made possible through the generous contributions and active participation of NRAI Kolkata members, who came together to ensure that the festive season was marked by compassion, inclusion and meaningful community engagement.
Santa’s Cause, which has grown into a nationwide movement across NRAI city chapters, reflects the association’s continued commitment to social responsibility—going beyond the business of food to touch lives and spread happiness during the holidays.
