Gossips24.com has intercepted photos of five thousand (5000) boxes, each filled with a month’s supply of food, has been packed and ready to be delivered to Ghanaians in lockdown areas.
This forms part of efforts to cushion the vulnerable during the lockdown that has been imposed on Accra, Kasoa, Kumasi, and Tema by President Akufo-Addo.
Per our findings, the move is initiated by Intercom Programming & Manufacturing Co (IPMC) with support from the government and is expected to be distributed to selected homes from Monday, April 20.
Packaging of the food began at the Presbyterian Boys Senior High School at Madina on Sunday, April 19 with over 200 workers and volunteers drawn from the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO), the various Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs) and social workers.
The volunteers, some from the private sector, first went through social distancing and hygiene checks before re-bagging products like rice, gari and beans, tuna, tomato paste and cooking oil.
Private institutions like Forwin Ghana, Azar Paints, Internet Solutions, Ghandour and Polygroup have made available their trucks to help in the distribution.
