The ‘Food Bank’ initiative of Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) appears to have struck a chord with people in Hyderabad. The initiative which was launched this February has now managed to reach out and provide free food to nearly one lakh people.

Under its ‘Feed the Need’ scheme, GHMC in association with couple of NGOs including Apple Home for Orphans Children, set up the first food bank (refrigerator) at Shilparamam, Madhapur with an aim to make good use of surplus food at functions, hotels and other places.

People, who wish to donate food can handover it to the personnel manning the refrigerators in their vicinity. The collected food is stored in the refrigerators so that the poor, who cannot afford a meal, can avail the facility. The 530-litre capacity refrigerators are operated round the clock and a person is deployed to operate and clean clean the appliance daily
