Since the COVID-19 pandemic hit the country, hunger has threatened millions of Indians more than ever. On 25th March 2020, when the nation came to a standstill against the spread of the pandemic, lakhs of people lost access to income, resources, and daily meals. At this point, the Annamrita Foundation decided to leverage its kitchens across the nation to do more than just serve mid day meals. We began delivering healthy and hygienic COVID relief meals to those stranded in the lockdown.
We distributed Food packets near many Government hospitals. The target was patient parties who were in distress for the health of their near and dear ones. They were not in the position to get hygenis food as road side foods and restaurants were unavailable as lockdown was prevailing all around. The Annamrita Food packets came to be a light of hope for them and they gleefully accepted the food and the smile on their face was more than a reward for us.
