Feed the Daily Wager – A Transparency Report

With your support, we carried out one of our biggest relief campaigns till date – Feed the Daily Wager – providing food/ration to millions of struggling daily wagers across India. In all, we distributed 7.8 cr+ meals across 181 cities.

We believe in utmost transparency and accountability and have partnered with Grant Thornton to independently review the impact we created, our processes and system controls around each pillar of this initiative that we launched in March.

Detailed report: https://bit.ly/3h6u3Sf

In early April, when all of us were getting used to working from home, India’s daily wager community was struggling to find ways to feed their families. The loss of daily livelihood meant that they had no money to pay their landlords, and no money to put food on the table. COVID-19 was the least of their worries.

50 Zomato employees, 500+ Feeding India volunteers (aka Hunger Heroes), 99,883 individuals, 66 companies and 426 NGOs came together with Feeding India in a massive collaborative effort to ensure that millions of our fellow countrymen do not sleep on an empty stomach. We are thankful to each of our partners for being the nicest people to work with. We would not have been able to enable this massive impact without your undying love and support for our collective cause. And then there is the love and gratitude we have for all the donors who contributed financially to feed their fellow countrymen. Over the course of four months, we were able to collect and utilise ₹32,57,48,829 for feeding the Indian daily wager community. 

We are glad to be able to virtually gather the whole country to provide support to a community worst hit by the pandemic. We distributed 7.49 lakh kits utilising 100% of the donations to purchase food grains and essentials. From Jammu and Kashmir to Port Blair, we served a total of 78+ million meals across 181 cities. 

Once again, a massive thank you to everyone who supported our Feed the Daily Wager campaign. Without your active participation, this wouldn’t have been possible.

To better food for more people,
Team Zomato
