The recent standstill the country has come to has got people struggling to save themselves from the coronavirus, but also to save themselves from starvation. The lockdown in the country and around the world has left many people jobless, a lot of whom relied on daily wages to feed their families. It is feared that hunger might kill these people before the COVID-19 does. In this backdrop, PepsiCo Pakistan has stepped up and announced an initiative to help the underprivileged in the country during these challenging times.
The campaign is called  ‘Millions Of Meals’ and aims to provide meals to millions of struggling families across Pakistan whose livelihood has been affected due to the current situation. PepsiCo is partnering with charity organizations to bring this idea to life and manage the on-ground distribution of meals. It is heartening to see a massive organization taking the step the fellow citizens in this critical hour of need.
