Several people are stepping up in these times of crisis, leading the way with their selfless service and ushering in hope amidst an atmosphere of gloom.
A. Lakshmi Annapurna is one such Good Samaritan, who, along with a small team of volunteers, sets out every day to oversee the cooking, packing and delivery of healthy food to the doorsteps of families who have contracted the COVID-19 virus and are in home isolation free of cost.

VIJAYAWADA: Vijayawada’s Margam Foundation has come to the rescue of Covid patients in home isolation, and provides them nutritious food at their doorstep for no charge. All that one needs to do is contact the foundation on their helpline handled by a team of volunteers a day in advance.
A Lakshmi Annapurna, its founder, said she had first-hand experience of the problems that a person in home isolation faces when she was infected in October.
“I was under home isolation for almost two weeks, and could not even cook for myself in the period. After I recovered, I started working on the problem, and decided to serve food to others in isolation. However, I was able to capitalise on my goal in the Covid second wave.”
