FREE FOOD FOR LONDONS - NHS & VULNERABLE (COVID19)

In this time of crisis, we here at Desi Dhaba have set up this GoFundMePage to support our community, especially those who are vulnerable and our brave NHS employees who are working on the frontline to battle the COVID-19 pandemic.

Our team at Desi Dhaba would like to say a HUGE thank you to all of you that have donated through our GoFundMe Page, with donations of fresh food, fruit, bread, sandwiches, essential toiletries and much more. We have been very fortunate to meet many like-minded individuals and volunteers in the community who have helped Desi Dhaba to become the first COVID-19 RESPONSE KITCHEN in London.   

In one week we have been able to deliver:

11,000+ Hot meals

5500+ Fruit bags

More than 10,000 items of essentials such as hand creams, sanitary products and PPE Gear;

To Front-line NHS staff at hospitals all across London, GP Practices, Care Homes, Pharmacies and elderly, vulnerable people in the community.   


Our motto at Desi Dhaba has always been to serve wholesome, home cooked style food, bringing the essence of ‘Dhaba’ food here in London. We are a family run restaurant and take away who strongly believe in supporting our community and doing something that makes a difference. Every day we are seeing our friends, family, members of our community working tirelessly against COVID-19 for us all and this is our way of helping. 

Each meal prepared costs approximately £2.50   A £10 donation would fund 4 hot meals, a £100 donation would fund 40 hot meals and £1000 donation would fund 400 hot meals.

Our aim at the beginning of this campaign was to provide 4000 meals for a £10,000 donation.   We are incredibly pleased that we have been able to outdo this with the support of our local community with donations of fresh food, fruit, bread, sandwiches, other food supplies and volunteers and have been able to produce and distribute 11,000+ meals since Monday 23rd March.   

We have seen in one week the high demand and necessity of the work that we are doing and as a result of the increase in demand we are asking for your support to raise more funds so that we can help our community and NHS.   

With your help and support we will be able to reach many more people across London who genuinely need the support and comfort of a warm meal.

100% of the donations received would go towards the food stock, packaging, staff equipment and PPE to prepare the hot meals. Please follow us on our social media pages (Facebook and Instagram) for updates on our ‘Meals Milestones’ so you know how far we have gotten to reach our goal.

All we need to get things going is your love, support, donations through GoFundMe, supplies, stock and volunteering.  If you are able to support in any way please get in contact with us. 

Together we can overcome any adversity, please assist us in supporting those in need and those working hard for us all!

Thank you for taking the time to read our food campaign and we really hope you can support us.
