Stories of hope | Frontline warriors get do-gooders' aid

Hyderabad: A few organisations are striving hard to make sure that frontline warriors against Covid-19 pandemic and other caregivers are not deprived of food, groceries and other bare necessities during their fight against the pandemic.

One such organisation, Give Hope Foundation, in association with a privately operated restaurant, started a campaign to help frontline Covid workers each day. As a part of its drive, the members of the organisation are providing protective gear, masks and nutritious healthy meals to them. Anybody can participate and donate groceries and other food items by scanning the Give Hope Foundation QR code.

Speaking to this newspaper, Vasumana Ghosh, a representative of the organisation said, “We have been active for some time, but in the last two weeks we have had some tremendous response for the drive.”

“We have conducted various activities like supplying food and groceries to at old-age homes, orphanages, GHMC workers and schools during these Covid times,” she said.  

During the pandemic, the group has distributed Rs 1.5 lakh worth masks and sanitisers to law and order departments, traffic police, GHMC workers and sanitation workers, she added.
