Accor Group’s ibis India recently distributed food and ration packets to the needy and the underprivileged to help in fight against COVID-19. Total 5.3 tonnes of raw food material was distributed among communities across India with the support of NGOs — World Hope Foundation in New Delhi, Project Rescue Pune in Pune, Child In Need India in Kolkata, Headway Foundation in Chennai, and Robin Hood Army in Jaipur.
Moreover, the hotel’s properties across Coimbatore, Nashik, Hyderabad, Goa and Kochi, also distributed food packets in their local underprivileged areas, containing items such as, wheat flour, pulses, refined oil, salt, and sugar.
In order to avoid breach of social distancing norms during the distribution process, the hotel teams sought help of local police officials and NGOs. The teams at ibis New Delhi Aerocity, ibis Pune Viman Nagar and Hinjewadi, ibis Coimbatore, ibis Kochi, ibis Kolkata Rajarhat, ibis Chennai Sipcot and City Centre, ibis Jaipur Civil Lines, ibis Nashik, ibis Hyderabad Hitec City and ibis Styles Goa, made the initiative a success while ensuring strict safety and hygiene measures.
