Help feed the hourly workers in Bangladesh
Doação protegida
Food drive for approximately 400 families in Bangladesh. All the money raised will be utilized to supply essential groceries to the families in need. You can help a family with as little as $12. Every bit of help counts! #BacharLorai
Given the current circumstances in the world, the only way to combat this situation is by taking a stand and supporting each other. If I've learned anything over the past few days it is that we can make the most difference by concentrating our efforts to help the ones in need.
Why donate to this campaign?
We are organizing a food drive for the people in Bangladesh who have lost their jobs due to COVID-19 pandemic and can't afford a single meal. We will be providing essential grocery items for about 400 families starting next week. We will give them an essential food package and antiseptic soap which costs approximately $10-$12; and believe me or not, it can feed a family of 4 for approximately 20 days.
Let's unite and get through this crisis together. We are grateful for your support.
Additionally, we are using #BacharLorai to join in with other expat initiatives from across the world. It helps synergize our efforts and work towards a common goal. Feel free to join in on our movement #BacharLorai, and use it on your Social Media posts
