Hello friends!
We hope you and your loved ones are doing well. The 2nd COVID wave has been harsh and touched many of us personally. But it also displayed the power of our community. It was humbling to see so many individuals and organizations coming forward to offer help in whatever way they can! We hope we will sail past the pandemic in this spirit of togetherness and support.
We are doing our bit as well. Besides serving meals to COVID patients in our locality in our personal capacity, we also created the COVID Meal Map, which is a database of food service providers in Delhi NCR for COVID patients. We continue to stand by our vision of healthy food for all, the importance of which becomes more stark than ever before. We are running several online programs for children to empower them to be able to choose and access healthy food. We recently conduced a Summer Camp on food and nutrition for kids, and all parents reported that their children adopted healthier eating behaviours after the program! They have become more conscious eaters and are choosing healthy. Check out more about the program and its impact below.
On a lighter note, summers are here! In order to get you refreshed, we launched our special Summer Soothers series of recipes. Do give these a try. And since most of these are kid-friendly recipes, feel free to involve the young chefs at your home.
Lastly, we would like to acknowledge and thank all our interns and volunteers who are making our work possible. Do read Bhavya's experience at Foodshaala below, whose support added a great value to our work. Also check out the current volunteering opportunities at Foodshaala and reach out to us if you are interested.
Stay safe and healthy! And happy eating!
