Besides vegetables and fruits grown on the church’s premises, products donated by the public are also kept at the entrance
People have been going that extra mile to help others during the pandemic. Those who passed by St George Church at Kalady in Ernakulam district of Kerala on Thursday (May 13) morning were in for a surprise. A banner had this notice: ‘Bhakshyavasthukkal aavashyamullavarkku edukkavunnathaanu’ (The food is for the needy to take). Fresh produce were arranged outside the gate. “There were mangoes, jackfruit, tapioca, banana stem and ivy gourd grown on our premises. Bananas were given away by people in the neighbourhood when they saw what the church was doing. The produce got over in no time and we plan to continue it as long as we can. We have also requested people to donate food products if possible,” says Fr John, vicar of the church.
