In this crisis, everyone is suffering but the one section of the society which is suffering the most are the homeless citizens, people living in slums, and daily wage workers.
These people are not only fighting their battle against COVID-19 pandemic but also against the growing hunger, which is making them vulnerable.
To help such needy people in these unprecedented challenging times, once again Sanjay Ghodawat Foundation (SGF) has come forward to rescue humty. It is providing free food to the needy at large scale.
SGF has set up three community kitchens in the Kolhapur region of Maharashtra, where it is providing free and nutritious food to approximately 2100 needy people daily.
"We will continue to do so till 3rd May 2020, the time till the lockdown remains so that no poor person can suffer due to hunger in this crisis", said one of the officials associated with SGF.
"These kitchens' whole setup, raw materials, chefs, helpers, and volunteers are managed & funded by SGF completely", he added.
The foundation is managing one community kitchen in Ahmedabad city as well and has fed more than 40,000 needy people till date. It is planning to start many other kitchens in Belagavi and Hubballi regions of Karnataka to extend its humtarian outreach.
"We are not responsible for the origination of this virus but as a human being we are responsible for everything whatever happens later. Our humtarian assistance, voluntary support, and noble endeavor can help manage this crisis better. Therefore, come forward and contribute whatever you can so that we can not only save precious lives in our country but also humty at large", revealed noted philanthropist Sanjay Ghodawat, who runs this foundation.
"Humty is the greatest religion and we practice it quite religiously. Our foundation is working tirelessly and proactively to feed the needy people in many parts of India. To continue on this endeavor, we have planned to feed close to 150,000 people by May 3rd, 2020," said Shrenik Ghodawat, MD - Sanjay Ghodawat Group.
Sanjay Ghodawat Foundation is working closely with the United First orgzation, an NGO managed by Sajan Shah to implement these noble endeavors on the ground.
Earlier, SGF had also distributed medical kits and stization sprays in several villages of Kolhapur district to help people fight against this contagious virus at free of cost.
Mass stization work was also executed in several villages that come under the Shirol, and Hatkanangale talukas in the Kolhapur district of Maharashtra to limit the expansion of COVID-19 with the voluntary help of foundation's workers.
