Swiggy looks to expand its initiative of feeding the needy

Food delivery platform Swiggy has partnered with various commercial kitchens, NGOs and State governments to provide daily meals to thousands of underprivileged, daily wagers and stranded migrant labourers who have limited access to food during the 21-day lockdown, the company said.

The ‘Hope, Not Hunger’ initiative was launched last week to support the Delhi government’s programme to feed the needy. Swiggy helped organise the preparation and distribution of nutritious meals twice a day across relief camps in Delhi with the support of partners such as Compass Kitchens, Lite Bite Foods and SmartQ. The relief effort was scaled to Mumbai with the help of NGOs Pratham, HelpAge India and Yuva, with Elior India acting as the food supply partner.
