The Lalit Has Extended Their Support To The Needy In Times Of The Ongoing Health Crisis

In these challenging times, everyone is facing some or the other difficulty and the worst hit by this pandemic is the daily wager, people below the poverty line as they’re not only fighting the disease but also hunger. At extraordinary times like these, we as a community need to come together and support each other. We’re gonna tell you about one such organisation that is doing some good work.

Helping Hands | The Lalit has taken the lead to support the Delhi Government’s initiative of feeding the needy by donating 1,000 kg of wheat flour (Atta) and 300 kgs of refined wheat flour (Maida), over 700 kgs of vegetables from their own gardens in the last couple of days to the Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board (DUSIB). Similarly, the remaining 11 hotels of the group are providing more than 1,000 kg of atta, 500 kg of maida, 200 litres of oil, food supplies, fruits and vegetables to the relevant local authorities who are leading the food distribution. 

Also, under the banner of Keshav Suri Foundation (KSF), they are reaching out to marginalised and probably the worst affected transgender people through different NGOs such as Kinnar Maa Trust in Mumbai, Sangama in Bangalore and Saksham Trust in Chandigarh. Through these NGOs, they are providing them with over 500 kg of atta, groceries, fruits and vegetables. KSF has also taken the initiative of extending mental health support to people who need help. The group is providing lunch and dinner for 250 people at NP Coed Sr Sec School, Tilak Marg where lunch will be served at 12 Noon and dinner will be served at 7 PM. These meals are cooked in the kitchens of The Lalit New Delhi and will be distributed till the lockdown continues.

The Foundation has also started ‘Queering Quarantine’, an online series of talks, interactions and workshops to help people cope with this lockdown and utilise their time in learning and exploring new areas. Also, The Lalit New Delhi will be used as an accommodation place for health care workers from Lok Nayak and GB Pant Hospitals in Delhi.

Together we all can win the war against this pandemic and now, more than ever, we must do our bit and be responsible citizens.
