Community fridge feeds the needy in Ramzan

This charity is not only anonymous, but it also does not embarrass the recipient.

MUMBAI:

A 'community fridge' set up on the ground floor of a shopping mall, Aventus Heights, in Govandi caters to those in need of food for the two most important meals during Ramzan: iftaar and sehri. Anyone who cannot afford to buy fruits and other food items can help themselves to those kept in the fridge.

Many organisations distribute iftaar boxes during Ramzan to the needy. But advocate Saif Alam, whose Exa Educational Foundation set up this community fridge, wanted to do something that would not make the needy feel embarrassed about taking charity.
