Allcargo donates Rs 1 crore to Maha CM’s Relief Fund for Covid-19 fight

Allcargo Logistics has joined the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic by contributing Rs 1 crore to the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund in Maharashtra and supporting various initiatives to help migrant labourers, daily-wage earners as well as doctors and paramedics who are on duty.

Allcargo has also motivated its employees to generously donate from their salaries. A donation was also made to the PM Cares Fund through support from the senior leadership and management.

“As an integral part of society and as responsible citizens committed to our duty towards the nation, the time to act is right now. It is unprecedented challenges like these that bring society’s vulnerabilities to the fore and call on us to show care, compassion and generosity”, said Shashi Kiran Shetty, Chairman, Allcargo Logistics.

In an effort to help some of the most vulnerable sections of society like migrant labourers and daily-wage earners who have lost their means of sustenance owing to the lockdown, Allcargo has collaborated with Khushiyaan Foundation for running community kitchens and distribution of food in Bhiwandi, Thane and Navi Mumbai.

The organisation has also supported a similar initiative in Delhi, India’s capital city that is experiencing a surge in COVID-19 cases. A monetary contribution has been made to the Hare Krishna temple of the ISCKON Foundation for food distribution to migrant labourers from various locations outside Delhi.

“We will continue our efforts and I would urge all the corporates and individuals to come together and contribute to the cause of COVID-19 relief. I wish health and safety for everyone and hope we emerge stronger from this crisis,” Shetty said.
