NEED OF THE HOUR

Hunger is the main outcome of poverty

While most of us can afford more than three meals a day, with an added convenience of doorstep delivery, it is the underprivileged and the less fortunate that suffers the most. The lack of income results in the poor having limited or no access to sufficient food, let alone access to healthy meals.
