Appeal: The lockdown last year hit the underprivileged the most

#KhaanaChahiye spearheaded the movement to eliminate hunger in #Mumbai by serving lakhs of migrant workers, daily wage labourers & the homeless with, food & other basic necessities during last year's lockdown

The impending lockdown this year is a lot more severe. But this time, we are better prepared.

We have built a strong volunteer network and have integrated technology into our distribution process through the hunger map project.

But the 1 thing that we need to meet the challenges of the current lockdown and to serve those in dire need of food, is funds.

Like last time, we hope that lakhs of samaritans will stand by us and help us fullfill our mission of eliminating hunger.

*Our first #community kitchen has been activated in Qureshi Nagar, Kurla led by a local women’s self-help group.

This is a sustainable alternative to conduct our operations. It creates a means of livelihoods for women locally.

We are preparing for the ongoing crisis and innovating our approach towards relief operations.

Our goal is to continuously sustain our operations and be agile enough to accommodate the uncertainties of the pandemic.

We need more volunteers.

The local economy will take time to normalize which is the primary rationale behind extending our relief ops.

Considering the monsoon in Mumbai, we will focus on expanding the grocery drive. Cooked meals will be served to beneficiaries who do not have any cooking apparatus

We're supporting local initiatives like community kitchens, with our partner organizations working on the grassroots.

It is a sustainable model for the long term that fits our purpose: to combat hunger in #Mumbai.

Once again, thank you for trusting & supporting our efforts. We have updated our target to continue our efforts to meet the needs of our vulnerable beneficiaries. Please help us in spreading the word
