The volunteers associated with our initiative perform the following tasks:
Food Distribution Drives
1. Approach the local Municipal officials and/or nearest Police Stations to seek permission in meal distribution preferably through the Police Personnel / Municipal workers, as distribution of food & aid at most places in containment areas by NGOs/ Outsiders are barred from conducting the activity.
2. Identify & order sample food through small household caterers or eateries, before onboarding them as meal vendors. The meal vendor shall supply quality food at a reasonable price at the volunteer's doorstep. This activity is also expected to assist in the generation of economic activity and sustenance to small businesses & households during these difficult times.
3. The quantity of food must be reasonable to satiate the hunger of a normal individual (like 3 Chappatis/1 bowl of rice with vegetable/dal) and can vary from region to region based on the local cuisines and accepted eating habits.
4. Each volunteer is apprised to buy an additional meal packet from his personal expenses to taste & test the quality of food before every distribution to ensure that good quality food is only donated to the needy.
5. Irrespective of the meal coupons donated, the team of volunteers will try to maximize the distribution of food packets/people fed, through better buying with their meal vendors without compromising on the Quality & Quantity of food supplied per meal packet.
