The last year and the current 2021 have both been really rough on so many levels. During the covid-19 pandemic and lockdown, a lot of families are not only fighting the disease itself but also the hunger. Since the numbers of unemployment has increased, the number of families struggling to afford two meals a day is also growing.
If your condition allows you to, here are some organizations that you can collaborate with and help those who are in need:
