Besides normally functioning apps and Annapurna canteens, Good Samaritans are filling in the gap
As the number of COVID-19 cases in Hyderabad accelerate to a new high, food is no longer one of the worries for patients and their relatives. Instead of a frantic struggle to get hot food during the first wave and second wave, care-givers have more resources to meet their needs. Besides the normally functioning food delivery apps, a clutch of quick delivery services, and Annapurna canteens are filling in the gap in food supply. Even the need for home-cooked food is being met by Good Samaritans.
“We supplied 35,000 food packets during the second wave. We are just carrying on the work with our trusted friends and volunteers,” says V. Bhargav who has set up a network of food distribution in the western part of Hyderabad with his home kitchen in Bachupally area. He has hired a two-bedroom house near his apartment to use the kitchen facility to cook and serve food. Once the food is readied, volunteers take over and deliver it across a small area.
