New Delhi: Committed to aiding the needy and destitute, Wishes and Blessings NGO tied up with entrepreneurial network, The Entrepreneurs’ Organization (EO) New Delhi, to provide hot and nutritious cooked meals to the homeless, destitute and at-risk individuals and families, in Delhi under its Covid Relief Project, 2021.
“EO New Delhi is delighted to partner with Wishes and Blessings to extend its ‘Khaana by EO’ programme to migrant labour and poor who have been forgotten. We thank Wishes and Blessingsfor allowing us to serve through them”, says Mr. Naval Chopra, EO New Delhi representative.
Through this collaborative effort, packed cooked meals were being distributed twice a day to the needy across the national capital including the hamlets and jhuggis in Ruchi Vihar.

Under the programme, 1200 meals were distributed to the destitute, on a daily basis. Wishes and Blessings’ team ensured that social distancing norms were followed strictly, during the distribution drive.

With this extension of support, Wishes and Blessings was able to extend its services to even more people in need during this time of crisis.”, says Dr. Geetanjali Chopra, Founder & President of Wishes and Blessings NGO.
