Karuna Manor Organises Successful Navratri Food Donation Drive, Supporting London Community Kitchen
Karuna Manor care home in Harrow, recently organized a Navratri Food Donation Drive from October 3rd to October 15th, 2024, in a heartwarming effort to support local communities. The drive saw generous contributions from residents, relatives, and staff members, with all donations going to the London Community Kitchen (Harrow Branch) to help those in need.
The food donation drive was a significant part of Karuna Manor’s commitment to fostering community spirit and giving back during the auspicious festival of Navratri, a time of reflection, prayer, and charity. The collective efforts resulted in a substantial contribution of non-perishable food items, ensuring that local families and individuals facing food insecurity would receive support.
The Karuna Manor community came together to make the initiative a resounding success, with residents, their families, and staff members joining hands to contribute a variety of essential food items. The donated goods were handed over to the London Community Kitchen, whose Harrow branch plays a pivotal role in distributing food to those in need across the borough.
