Emergency aid
Food distribution continues – Brace Bridge and Pally Mangal
A truck was taken to Brace Bridge on Friday 24 April to deliver food supplies to the community there. And on Tuesday 28 April the CRS van was loaded with more bags that were taken to Pally Mangal and handed out on a very rainy day.
Basic supplies delivered to Hastings community
On Wednesday 23 April, the CRS team took basic food supplies to Hastings, a squatter settlement located under a concrete flyover. We have supported this community of extremely poor families for several years and they are among the most needy during this time of emergency lockdown when people are without income. People queued patiently for bags of essential goods. Thanks to your kind donations, more families are being helped through this crisis.
Emergency food distributed at Mahamaya
Thank you for your generous support! Many friends have responded to our emergency appeal to support CRS communities during the coronavirus lockdown in India. This week basic food supplies including rice, potatoes and cooking oil were distributed to villagers from the CRS centre at Mahamaya.
Distribution of emergency aid
Many thanks to those who have already responded to our emergency appeal to help poor communities during the coronavirus lockdown in Kolkata.
On Easter Sunday food packets with basics such as rice, lentils, sugar, milk and oil were distributed to over 200 families. On Easter Monday the CRS vehicle went to another location and distributed a similar amount to very grateful recipients.
