COVID-19 Relief Fund
The Akshaya Patra Foundation, working along with its partners, donors, volunteers, and well-wishers, has time and again come forward to aid the Government’s disaster relief work across India.
As the nation goes under complete lockdown to contain COVID-19 outbreak, Akshaya Patra has been aiding the Government’s efforts by providing food relief to vulnerable communities, such as migrant laborers and homeless people. The Foundation is doing this through its network of kitchens, working closely with the Government of India, State Governments and other civic administrations.

VOICES FROM THE FIELD
“We are getting good food. It comes in the morning. We have been getting food for almost a week now. We really like the food, and while we are eating it, so are our children. We are getting a lot of help. And when we eat we feel at ease because we know that we won’t die hungry. I have five to six family members at home and all of them get to eat this food. The help we have been given is very good. We keep looking at the road for your vehicle and when it comes, we are at ease knowing that we will get food today.”
-A beneficiary in Mathura, UP

“I already have a huge amount of respect for the Akshaya Patra Foundation but the way you have helped us in this cause right now during this moment of crisis, all the country and the world which is COVID 19 and the way you have taken up this responsibility of helping millions of poor people in the country providing them food and that to also quality food in the well possible sustainable manner. I think our respect for your Foundation increases manifold times. So congratulations, keep it up and I am sure many others will take a lot of inspiration from the good work that you are doing.“
