The Pride Group of Hotels will distribute 1,000 food parcels every day till April 14, 2020 (i.e., the lockdown period) in the cities of Pune, Ahmedabad, New Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Bengaluru and Nagpur.
Ever since the outbreak of the dreaded Coronavirus, the hotel’s frontline work teams have been selflessly working around the clock to bring things under control.
These include doctors, nurses, service experts, police officers, medical practitioners, hospital support staff and civil services personnel, among others.
Prepared by in-house chefs at each of the chosen Pride Group properties, the food parcels will comprise rice, dal, a vegetable, and chapatis. The hotel chain strictly abides by all social distancing and personal hygiene guidelines.
Hence, the parcels will be neatly packed and distributed under the guidance of an NGO (non-governmental organisation) and local police stationed in each of these cities.
“Pride Hotel takes pride in being a truly Indian hospitality company. Presently, as we witness an unprecedented lockdown in our country due to the Coronavirus pandemic, our heart goes out to the healthcare workers and police officers who are leading from the frontline. They are our real heroes,” said Satyen Jain, chief executive officer, Pride Group of Hotels.
“We understand that most of them are deprived of basic food and water during this difficult period. As a small gesture of appreciation towards our most deserving saviours, we, at Pride Group of Hotels, are distributing free food parcels at our seven properties. We are extremely happy to be part of this noble cause,” he added.
