Hunger During Lockdown: Help Us Feed Labourers,Migrant Workers & Homeless
 
As the COVID-19 pandemic grows, there’s a section of society that has been brought to its knees. This includes the homeless, wage laborers, and stranded migrant workers. The people who depend on the day’s wages to put a meal on the table for themselves and their families. As millions of daily wage labourers and working-class people take to the highways to find their way home, the war against the COVID-19 is threatening to become a humanitarian and economic crisis beyond imagination.
