The B-Town fraternity has come together to help people in such difficult times. From contributing to the PM Cares Fund to arranging food supplies, everyone is doing their bit.
Parineeti Chopra has stepped forward to do more during the coronavirus crisis that is raging in our country. The actress has decided to go on a virtual coffee date with people to raise funds that will feed 4,000 family members of 1000 daily wage earners of our country.
Millions of poor labourers are struggling to access food and rations during the COVID lockdown. They are unable to keep themselves and their families safe. Parineeti has come on board to help raise funds for GiveIndia’s Mission: Ration Kit that aims at delivering food to those most affected by the crisis.
According to sources close to the actress, Parineeti’s campaign will see ration kits containing dal, rice, aata, salt, masala, tea, sugar, oil etc., to be able to sustain a family of four people. “These kits will be distributed to families in Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Bihar and Tamil Nadu. The A.T.E. Chandra Foundation has also joined hands in this cause and will be adding 25% of the total donation value collected as a matching amount, thereby multiplying the impact,” add sources.
Parineeti, who is doing this in association with Arjun Kapoor’s sister Anshula’s breakthrough charity initiative Fankind, says, “There are millions of unemployed daily wage earners who are struggling to make two ends meet today due to the coronavirus crisis in our country.
During the COVID-19 national lockdown, they are unable to earn, and that is putting them at high risk! Fankind, GiveIndia and I have come together to try and help them and their families by providing them with ration kits.”
One just needs to log on to fankind.org/Parineeti and donate to be eligible for this virtual date which will aid GiveIndia to reach out to the ones who need our immediate help. The contest will be open for donation for a week, starting today.
Pari adds, “No one should go to sleep hungry, so let’s do our bit to make a difference and take care of our fellow brothers and sisters of India. This fundraiser is uniquely crafted for me to meet you virtually and have a cup of coffee! This is how I will be saying thank you to five lucky winners through a video chat.
“I am looking forward to chatting with you and getting to know more about you over a piping cup of coffee. Let’s join hands and donate for those who are in need.”
