The beneficiaries were overwhelmed with joy to receive the items and thanked the church for extending help to them. Altogether, 40 needy families were benefited through this distribution program.

Nesamma said, “I am a widow. I lost my husband three years ago. I was surviving on a meagre income I earned from working in a garment factory. But due to lockdown the company is closed down and I do not have any other way to make a living. I was really in need of ration items and vegetables. I am truly grateful to the church for reaching out to me during this pandemic.”
