Feed the Hungry!!– a Youth Feed India & SAFA initiative in association with COVID 19 Food Security Group
“The war against hunger is truly mankind’s war of liberation.” There can be no better time to reflect on these words by John F Kennedy. COVID-19 has shattered several million lives in no time. While the doctors fight their war against the virus, it is the responsibility of the ‘COMMON MAN’ to fight the war against ‘HUNGER’
This campaign has been created by the COVID-19 FOOD SECURITY GROUP – a team comprising of several IIMB Alumni, experts in the food space, people from NGOs, Bulk Kitchens, large and small organizations across the country to fight the war against hunger!!
Youth Feed India is a movement started by a group of young informed citizens from the private sector in partnership with the SAFA Society, a society doing positive work for the past two decades in India. They have been doing an extraordinary job for the past 10 days, to feed the HUNGRY across Hyderabad, Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi, Gurgaon, Mumbai & North Karnataka!! This campaign by our team has been created to appreciate their efforts and support them in any which way possible.
