Weekly Distribution of Family Kits and Cooked Food for Daily Wagers – May 2020 Relief Effort
The ongoing lockdown during May 2020 continued to affect the lives of daily wage earners, many of whom were left struggling to meet even the most basic needs for their families. In response, Yash Sewa Samiti expanded its efforts to provide weekly family kits and cooked meals to those hit hardest by the crisis.
120+ Family Kits Distributed Weekly
Every week, more than 120 families received comprehensive relief kits, each containing:
- Wheat flour, rice, sugar, tea leaves
- Cooking oil and biscuits
- 15 sachets of energy booster drink powder
- Bathing soap, and protective face masks
These kits were designed not just to feed, but to protect and strengthen health during the pandemic. The addition of energy boosters, hygiene items, and masks reflected a thoughtful approach to overall wellbeing with the support of Goonj
Cooked Meals for Immediate Relief
In parallel, freshly prepared meals (dal, rice, chapati, sabji) were also distributed to those who had no means to cook or lacked fuel and utensils. The goal was to ensure no family slept hungry, even for a single day.
From the Field
“Ration ka samaan mil gaya, par cooked khana milna aur bhi zaroori tha jab chulha jalane ki bhi halat nahi thi,” shared one daily wager.
Gratitude
We are thankful to our donors and volunteers, whose continued support helped us sustain this weekly effort. It was their kindness that allowed Yash Sewa Samiti to stand beside our communities when they needed us most.
In the hardest of times, relief is more than food—it is the assurance that someone cares. Thank you for helping us care.
